NOTICE 


The  collection  of  books  described  in  the  following  pages  is, 
beyond  all  question,  the  most  extensive  in  its  special  department 
ever  offered  for  sale.  Its  acquisition  has  been  the  unwearied  occu- 
pation of  Mr.  Field  for  many  years,  and  the  result  is  an  unusually 
complete  series  of  books,  on  a  subject  which  is  daily  increasing  in 
its  interest  —  the  American  Indians.  It  is  scarcely  necessary  for 
us  to  say,  that  it  is  simply  impossible  to  study  the  history  of  this 
continent  without  reference  to  this  topic.  An  entirely  complete 
collection  of  books  relative  to  the  Indians,  includes  a  large  propor- 
tion of  the  works  which  compose  American  history. 

In  the  preface  to  his  "  Essay  on  Indian  Bibliography,"  Mr.  Field 
remarks  : 

"  A  general  catalogue  of  works  illustrative  of  the  history,  litera- 
ture, and  archaeology  of  the  Aborigines  of  both  Americas,  had 
been  in  progress  of  composition  for  several  years,  as  a  guide  to  the 
author's  collea^on  of  that  class  of  books.  As  it  grew  in  propor- 
tions, by  the  slow  accretions  which  study  and  experience  furnished, 
the  author's  vanity  was  easily  flattered  into  the  design  of  producing 
a  work  of  more  general  utility.  The  material  collected  at  length 
covered  so  wide  a  range,  that  it  embraced  not  only  transcripts  of 
the  titles  of  such  printed  works  as  were  personally  ej^amined,  or 
were  to  be  found  in  catalogues  of  public  and  private  libraries,  with 
a  Qollation  of  their  pages,  and  synopsis  of  their  contents,  but  also 
the  titles  of  articles  upon  the  same  subjects,  printed  in  reviews, 
historical  collections,  magazines,  and  other  ephemera.  More  than 
two  thousand  five  hundred  separate  works,  and  twelve  hundred 
essays,  had  been  catalogued,  with  their  topical  range  noted,  before 
the  vast  extent  of  the  unexplored  territory  to  be  examined,  began 
to  exhibit  some  of  its  formidable  proportions.  It  was  plainly 
demonstrated,  that  the  projected  task  must  be  either  abandoned  or 


IV 

greatly  abridged.  That  portion  of  the  task  which  could  be  most 
readily  detached  and  wrought  into  unity,  was  the  catalogue  of  works 
on  the  American  Aborigines,  in  t>  +^ior's  possession.  To 
determine  the  selection  of  work!  .xd  be  included  in  that 

category,  they  have  been  subjecte\^  tO  a  few  simple  rules  of  classi- 
fication. 

"  All  works  which  purported  in  their  titles  to  contain  historic, 
narrative,  or  literary  material,  relating  to  the  American  Indians. 

"  Books  in  which  any  distinct  portion,  chapter,  or  appendix 
claimed  by  its  heading,  or  table  of  contents,  to  be  devoted  to  that 
subject. 

"  Works  containing  engravings,  illustrative  of  the  manners  of 
of  the  aborigines,  when  derived  from  actual  observation. 

"  All  treatises,  or  essays,  upon  their  origin,  or  the  pre-Columbian 
discovery  of  America,  as  affecting  the  source  of  its  population. 

"  Those  works  of  fiction  or  poetry  founded  on  Indian  life,  to  which 
were  appended  historical  notes,  incidents  of  personal  experience,  or 
traditions  and  legends,  of  the  Indians. 

"  All  works  containing  grammatical  analyses,  or  vocabularies  of 
their  language,  as  well  as  translations,  into  or  from  them,  would  of 
course  form  a  part  of  the  collection." 

How  far  Mr.  Field  has  succeeded  in  filling  out  the  lines  thus 
indicated,  this  catalogue  will  afford  evidence.  In  some  departments 
he  has  been  specially  fortunate.  It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  his 
collection  of  public  documents  is  unapproachable»^.  The  Indian 
Department  at  Washington  has  not  succeeded  in  ^Wcuring  many 
which  are  to  be  found  in  this  library.  Not  the  least  important  are 
the  many  pamphlets,  some  of  only  a  few  pages,  and  apparently  of 
little  worth,  are  of  great  rarity  —  and  they  are  rare,  partly  because 
of  their  size,  or  rather  want  of  size.  For  in  many  respects  books 
are  like  people,  the  big  ones  take  care  of  themselves,  the  little 
ones  get  lost,  strayed  or  destroyed.  We  bespeak  for  the  little  ones 
in  this  Library  that  consideration  which  they  undoubtedly  deserve. 
On  another  page  we  have  given  a  list  of  Desiderata  including 
books  which  have  a  special  individual  value. 

Another  and  a  very  important  feature  of  this  library  is  the 
large  collection  of  the  publications  of  Historical  Societies,  many  of 
which  have  not  been  included  in  iMr.  Field's  Essay,  because  their 
primary  subject  was  not  Indian.     They  are  none  the  Ics^  valuable 


on  that  account,  and  indeed  to  the  collector  in  general  have  per- 
haps" a  greater  interest  for  they  iaclude  histories  of  all  the  States, 
Kevolutionary  History,  War  of  1812,  etc. 

Mr.  Field's  "  Essay  on  Indian  Bibliography"  has  formed  the  basis 
of  the  present  catalogue.  We  have  added  to  it  the  titles  of  such  books 
as  have  been  purchased  since  the  publication  of  that  work  in  1873. 
To  the  works  thus  added  the  notes  appended  are  sometimes  by  Mr. 
Field.  Many  works  of  importance,  which  were  in  his  possession  at 
the  time  of  its  publication  had  accidentally  dropped  out  of  his  list. 
Lord  Kingsborough's  Mexico  is  a  case  in  point ;  and  now  that  we  are 
on  the  subject  of  omissions  we  may  remark  that  by  an  accident,  which 
it  is  not  worth  while  to  explain,  a  portion  of  the  copy  for  this  catalogue 
was  also  lost.  This  circumstance  has  contributed  to  the  necessity  of 
an  Addenda.  For  the  same  reason  "  Bry"  has  been  necessarily 
carried  on  to  De  Bry  and  even  then  it  forms  a  star  lot,  a  dignity  which 
it  deserves,  for  it  is  undoubtedly  the  finest  set  of  books  in  the  sale. 

The  Titles  in  Mr.  Field's  Essay  have  sometimes  been  abridged, 
sometimes  given  in  full,  his  elaborate  and  eloquent  notes  have  in 
many  instances  been  shorn  of  their  chief  features,  but  the  reader 
can  supply  that  want  by  procuring  a  copy  of  Mr.  Field's  Essay.* 

Where  no  description  of  the  binding  is  given  it  is  to  be  under- 
stood that  the  book  is  in  ordinary  condition.  Many  of  the  books 
have  been  bound  by  W.  Mathews,  J.  M.  Bradstreet,  &  Sons,  and 
are  good  specimens  of  their  work. 

Let  us  hope  that  the  financial  result  of  the  sale  of  the  collection 
will  not  be  a  Severe  loss  to  the  owner,  for  it  must  be  admitted  that 
the  tolerable  certainty  of  getting  your  money  back  is  not  a  bad  in- 
centive to  the  collector  of  books,  or  indeed  of  any  other  article  of 
taste  or  vertu.

*The  reader  of  the  Essay  will  not  fail  to  notice  the  strong  humanitarian 
views  which  are  held  by  Mr.  Field.  It  would  be  difficult  for  any  one  to  add 
to  the  energetic  adjectives  which  distinguish  some  of  his  denunciations 
of  the  perpetrators  of  cruelties  on  the  Indians.

in  1590,  and  translated  into  almost  every  language  of  Europe.  Books 
one  and  two  were  subsequently  enlarged  to  the  Natural  History,  but  at 
page  99  the  title  "  De  Procuranda  Salvte  Indorum"  announces  another 
work  which  has  never  been  printed  in  English.  All  the  remainder  of 
the  volume  is  devoted  to  a  description  of  the  methods  by  which  the  In- 
dians of  the  New  World  were  to  be  brought  into  the  dominion  of  the 
Christian  Church.

His  work  has  been  justly  esteemed  for  its  intrinsic  merit,  indubitable 
evidence  of  which  is  found  in  the  fact  that  it  has  been  translated  into  al- 
most every  language  of  Europe  having  a  literature.  Pp.  327  to  590,  are 
entirely  devoted  to  a  relation  of  the  history,  customs  and  warres  of  the 
Indians.  Although  one  of  the  earliest,  he  was  one  of  the  most  curious 
and  accurate  observers  of  the  customs  and  peculiarities  of  the  Aborigines. 
Scarcely  a  trait  which  has  excited  the  attention  of  the  historian  or  the 
narrator  in  the  three  centuries  which  have  elapsed,  has  escaped  his 
observation  and  description.  Perfect  copies  of  the  English  edition  are 
quite  rare.

Although  it  cannot  be  claimed  for  this  author  that  he  ranked  first  in 
priority  of  time,  his  name  is  first  on  our  alphabetical  register  ot  a  great 
number  of  writers  whose  imaginations  have  been  struck  by  the  aston- 
ishing coincidenee  of  many  particulars  of  the  customs  and  religious  rites 
of  some  of  the  American  Nations  with  those  of  the  Jews.  The  relations 
of  an  intelligent  observer  (as  this  Indian  trader  seems  to  have  been),  for 
so  long  a  period  as  forty  years,  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  Southern  In- 
dians, among  whom  he  resided  for  that  period,  is  not  without  great 
value  ;  although  we  should  have  reason  to  hold  it  in  still  greater  es- 
teem, had  the  author  cherished  no  favorite  dogma  to  establish,  or  detested 
any  which  he  wished  to  destroy.

Botturino,  in  his  Gatalogo  del  Musey  Indio,  places  the  Vocahulario 
under  the  date  of  1583  ;  but  as  it  is  not  uncommon  to  ante-date  works 
printed  without  the  year  being  named,  and  I  am  inclined  to  believe  the 
edition  of  1611  to  be  the  first.

tion regarding  the  Indians  of  New  York,  and  of  the  Esquimaux  of  Lab-

The  zeal  and  industry  of  the  author,  stimulated  by  a  thirst  for  the  ac- 
quisition of  knowledge  regarding  the  mysterious  people  of  whom  these 
were  the  relics,  have  produced  a  work  not  much  less  valuable,  because 
the  author  had  little  scientific  training,  to  teach  him  for  what  to  search.

Some  very  curious  particulars  relating  to  Customs  of  the  Winneba- 
goes  are  related  by  Atwater.     Although  nothing  indicating  the  mission 
^  of  Atwater  appears  on  the  title,  yet  the  real  object  of  his  tour  was  to 

yu'ocure  as  commissioner  of  the  government,  a  cession  of  the  title  of  the 
Winnebago,  Pottawatomie,  Chippewa,  and  Ottawa  Indians,  in  the  rich 
mineral  lands,  now  forming  the  Siate  of   Wisconsin  and  part  of  Illinois. 

Much  the  greater  part  of  the  work  is  devoted  therefore  to  a  narration 
of  the  peculiarities  of  those  tribes  which  he  visited,  biography  of  some 
of  their  chiefs,  Indian  poetry,  specimens  of  their  language,  and'  incidents 
of  his  associations  with  them. 

On  pages  149  to  172  the  author  has  given  "  Rudiments  of  the  Gram- 
mar of  the  Sioux  Language,"  all  of  which  is  omitted  in  the  edition  of 
1833.  On  pp.  75  to  85  he  offers  an  analysis  of  the  Winnebagoes  dialect, 
as  amplifying  some  theories  regarding  the  origin  of  the  Chippewa  tribes.

Capt.  Back's  Narrative  is  crowded  with  details  of  his  intercourse  with 
the  Crees,  Chippewyans,  Dog  Rib,  and  Coppermine  Indians,  upon  whom 
he,  as  well  as  Captain  Franklin,  was  obliged  to  depend  in  great  measure 
for  subsistence  during  the  terrible  privations  of  an  Arctic  winter.  No 
intelligent  comprehension  of  the  character  of  the  savage  tribes  of  the 
frozen  regions  of  North  America  can  be  obtained  without  reading  the 
narratives  of  Captains  Franklin  and  Back  ;  both  of  whose  Journals  of 
their  overland  expeditions  are  largely  occupied  with  descriptions  of  In- 
dian life  and  peculiarities.

of  the  four  composing  it  has  a  distinct  title,  as  much  descriptive  of  a 
different  purpose  as  a  separate  work.  Vol.  II  contains  a  "  History  of  the

history  of  the  Indian  nations  of  Canada.  Much  of  this  work  is  written 
from  his  own  observation,  and  the  remainder  seems  to  have  been  derived 
from  authentic  sources.

This  Original  Historical  Memoir  of  the  West  Indies,  collected,  and 
partly  translated,  for  the  formation  of  a  clearer  history ;  illustrated  with 
learned  Notes  and  Copious  Indices.  Is  rarely  complete,  the  pieces  hav- 
ing been  printed  separately  and  at  different  periods,  and  having  each 
an  independent  pagination,  were  looked  upon  as  complete  in  themselves. 
Many  of  them  having  been  destroyed,  it  is  believed  that  not  more  than 
one  hundred  complete  copies  now  exist.  The  parts  were  not  collected 
until  after  the  death  of  the  author,  which  took  place  while  they  were 
passing  through  the  press.  Mr.  Stevens  says  that  it  is  diiEcult  now  to 
pronounce  what  constitutes  a  complete  set,  or  in  what  order  the  parts 
should  be  arranp;ed,  as  the  printing  occupied  a  period  of  more  than 
twenty  years.     For  further  particulars  consult  Field,  Rich  and  Sabin.

It  has  been  customary  to  repeat  in  most  of  the  Catalogues  contain- 
ing Bartram's  Travels,  the  comment  found  in  Coleridge's  Table  Talk, 
that  it  is  "  The  latest  hook  of  Travels  I  know,  written  in  the  spirit  of 
the  Old  Travellers.'^  This  I  suppose  to  mean  that  Bartram  wrote  with 
all  the  enthusiasQi  and  interest  with  which  the  fervent  old  Spanish 
friars  and  missionaries  narrated  the  wonders  of  the  new  found  world. 
Although  more  especially  a  naturalist,  he  neglected  nothing  which 
would  add  to  the  common  stock  of  human  knowledge.  He  not  only  of- 
fers us  pictures  of  Indian  life,  and  sketches  of  striking  peculiarities  of 
the  tribes  he  had  visited,  but  he  gives  us  tables  of  names  and  localities

Belden's  adventures,  to  the  original  manuscript  diaries  and  journals  ; 
although  entirely  reconstructed  and  rewritten  by  the  editor.  But  we

Part  II,  of  Vol.  I,  is  entitled  "  The  Native  Races  of  New  Mexico," 
and  is  somelliing  more  than  a  recital  of  the  Spanish  narrations  from 
Venegas  to  Boscana,  with  their  much  less  than  credible  theories  of  the 
origin  of  the  Aborigines  of  Northwestern  Mexico.  He  traces  the  mi- 
gration northward  of  the  Aztec  race,  driven  by  Spanish  cruelty,  with 
much  ingenuity,  by  the  ruins  of  their  peculiar  architecture.

Vol.  II  is  almost  entirely  devoted  to  the  author's  travels  among  the 
Northwestern  Indians,  of  whom  he  gives  some  novel  particulars. 
The  narrations  of  what  he  witnessed  are  tinged  with  the  peculiar  glow 
of  the  author's  temperament.  Beltrami  must  have  moved  in  a  gi- 
gantic world,  if  he  saw  external  objects  through  the  same  media  with 
which  he  viewed  his  own  person  and  accomplishments.  This  volume 
is  a  translation,  or  perhaps  more  nearly  a  paraphrase,  of  that  noticed 
above.

was  driven  from  France  by  the  revocation  of  the  Edict  of  Nantes. 
Having  fixed  his  residence  in  Philadelphia,  he  adopted  the  doctrine  of 
the  Quakers.  His  humanity  impelled  him  to  attempt  an  amelioration 
of  the  condition  of  both  the  Indians  and  negroes,  by  publishing  treat-

the  cupidity  and  neglect  of  the  whites.     He  died  in  1784.

This  is  evidently  a  veritable  relation  of  personal  experience  during 
three  years'  service  as  teacher  and  missionary  among  the  Choctaws  ; 
and  is  the  work  of  a  man  of  sense,  who  does  not  fill  his  pages  with 
the  emotional  religious  exercises  of  his  converts,  but  narrates  the 
every -day  story  of  incidents  and  character,  grave  or  ludicrous,  which 
presented  themselves.

An  essay  on  the  Indian  and  Dutch  names  of  New  York,  first  printed 
in  1817,  by  the  author.  The  peculiarly  abrupt,  and  not  very  perspicu- 
ous style  of  the  work,  excited  the  criticism  of  the  directors  of  the  So- 
ciety, who  required  some  verbal  changes  before  publication,  which  the 
author's  pride  induced  him  to  reject  with  indignation.  A  controversy 
arose  of  much  acrimony,  and  Mr.  Benson  determined  to  vindicate  his 
style  by  printing  his  essay.  He  does  not,  however,  seem  to  have  been 
entirely  satisfied  with  it  himself,  as  several  copies  exist  with  numerous 
manuscript  additions  and  corrections.  The  second  edition  printed  in 
Jamaica  includes  some  of  these,  and  is  quite  difiicult  to  procure.  The 
Society  in  1848,  after  the  death  of  the  author,  printed  the  address,  in 
their  seventh  volume  of  Collections.  Of  this  a  few  copies  were  issued

This  rare  book  is  the  work  of  an  old  Italian  traveller  who,  incited  by 
the  wonderful  stories  of  the  world  discovered  by  his  countryman  fifty 
years  before,  adventured  in  1.541  to  gain  personal  knowledge  of  it. 
The  Aborigines  of  the  countries  he  visited  always  seemed  first  to  at- 
tract his  attention  ;  and  he  has  accordingly  afforded  us  some  of  the 
rarest  pictures  of  their  condition  and  habits  at  that  early  day,  of  which 
the  rude  wood-cuts  printed  in  the  text  are  cjuaint  but  spirited  illustra- 
tions. It  is  the  first  book  of  Travels  of  wliich  America  has  been  so 
fruitful,  as  Benzoni  seems  to  have  been  the  first  wlio  travelled  merely 
to  gratify  his  curiosity  and  recorded  his  observations.

The  narrative  of  Giralamo  Benzoni  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  of 
all  the  early  travellers  in  America,  not  only  for  the  minute  details  of 
the  life  and  habits  of  the  Aborigines  more  than  three  centuries  ago, 
but  for  the  evident  fidelity  to  truth,  and  the  consequent  reliance  we 
may  feel  that  we  are  viewing  the  common  life  of  the  natives  before 
what  we  term  civilization  had  corrupted  them.  Eighteen  facsimiles 
of  the  curious  wood-cuts  of  the  period  are  inserted  in  the  text,  most 
of  which  are  illustrative  of  some  phases  in  the  customs  of  the  Indians.

United  States  acquired  a  title  to  the  lands  once  occupied  or  claimed 
by  the  Indians.  Mr.  Blunt  analyzes  in  a  most  judicious  and  impartial 
manner,  the  complex  rights  of  the  savage  and  the  civilized  claimants ; 
more  especially  of  those  by  which  the  State  of  New  York  assumes  pro- 
prietorship of  the  lands  once  held  by  the  Six  Nations,  and  of  the  States 
of  Georgia,  Alabama,  and  Mississippi,  in  those  of  the  Creeks,  Choctaws, 
and  Cherokees.

Mr.  Bollaert  is  the  author  of  several  treatises  on  ethnological  subjects, 

printed  in  the  Anthropological  Transactions  of  Europe,  and  brings  to 

the  consideration  of  his  subject  a  rare  combination  of  learning,  ability, 

and  zeal.     He  twice  visited  and  jjersonally  examined  the  monuments

extraordinary  man  will  occupy  in  the  annals  of  science,  for  his  works 
are  to-day  nearly  as  great  mysteries  as  the  hieroglyphs  his  labors  have 
illustrated.  His  industry  in  his  researches  into  the  history  of  the  Az- 
tec races  is  something  not  less  than  marvellous.  Following  his  voca- 
tion as  a  priest  and  missionary,  his  literary  appetite  could  only  be 
allayed  by  writing  a  history  of  Canada,  and  perhaps  the  most  unfortu- 
nate event  for  his  fame  which  could  possibly  have  happened  was  that 
it  was  printed.  It  did  not  escape  the  notice  of  historical  students  that 
the  Abbe  had  accepted  so  much  which  was  apocryphal,  that'his  history 
was  little  better  than  a  romance.  When,  therefore,  he  had,  with  he- 
roic sacrifice  of  all  personal  ease,  accepted  the  life  of  self  immolation  of 
a  missionary  to  the  Indians  of  Mexico  ;  had  studied  for  years  the  relics 
of  Aztec  picture-writing  ;  had  learned  and  systematized  in  great  trea- 
tises their  modern  dialects  ;  the  immense  works  which  he  then  printed 
upon  the  history  of  the  pre-Cortesian  races,  made  scarcely  a  ripple  on 
the  quiet  of  the  scientific  world.  He  stands  alone  in  the  vast  temple 
of  learning  which  he  has  restored,  if  he  did  not  erect.  No  human  be- 
ing can  contest  his  solution  of  Aztec  pictographs,  nor  does  there  exist 
one  who  can  prove  it  to  be  true.  His  numerous  volumes  have  at  least 
this  merit  —  they  have  done  much  to  perpetuate  the  memory  of  a  won- 
derful race.

Is  one  of  the  most  thoughtful  and  philosophical  of  all  the  mere 
speculative  treatises  on  the  American  Aborigines.  From  the  incompe- 
tency of  their  languages  to  express  abstract  ideas,  he  determines  that 
they  could  never  have  originated  or  entertained  any  ideas  of  a  purely 
spiritual  Deity,  and  that  in  consequence,  they  must  have  derived  all  the 
notions  they  possess  of  a  Great  Spirit  from  European  sources,  subse- 
quent to  the  Columbian  discovery.

The  object  announced  by  the  author,  as  the  province  of  this  vs^ork, 
is  the  tracing  of  the  ancient  course  of  empire  and  migration  of  this 
interesting  tribe.  Though  now  dwindled  to  the  small  number  of  two 
thousand  souls,  it  is  probable,  from  linguistic  and  social  characteristics, 
that  they  are  the  representatives  of  a  once  great  people,  affiliating 
with  now  distant  nations.

With  great  pretense  in  its  chapter  headings  of  saying  much  of  the 
Aboriginal  inhabitants  of  Illinois  in  the  first  200  pages,  the  author 
gives  us  absolutely  nothing  but  a  melange  of  trite  historical  relations 
which  blend  Hannibal  and  Harrison,  Tecumseh  and  Tonti,  LaSalleand 
Ponce  de  Leon,  in  an  astonishing,  but  not  an  interesting  manner.

to  fortify  their  hypothesis.  He  adds  nothing  to  strengthen  their  posi-

Notwithstanding  the  air  of  mocking  raillery  with  which  this  author 
envelopes  most  of  the  scenes  he  describes,  his  work  has  one  great  value, 
as  it  is  a  truthful  portraiture  of  the  terrors  which  attend  border  life  in 
Arizona,  where  one  twentieth  part  of  the  population  had  been  swept 
away  by  the  incursions  of  the  Apaches  in  three  years.

"  Une  troisieme  partie  de  ces  lettres  n'a  point  ete  traduite." — Biog. 
Univ.  The  author,  an  Italian  nobleman,  of  extensive  reading,  but 
without  the  personal  experience  acquired  by  travel,  undertook  the  de- 
fence of  the  true  Americans,  against  the  aspersions  of  De  Pauw.  The 
Count  meets  all  of  the  indictments  of  De  Pauw  in  detail  by  comparing 
the  Aborigines,  the  animals,  the  natural  divisions  of  land  and  water, 
the  forests  and  plants  and  fruits,  with  the  corresponding  Inhabitants 
and  objects  of  nature  of  the  Eastern  hemisphere.  While  De  Pauw 
charges  the  Mexicans  and  Peruvians  with  ferocity  and  barbarism  of 
manners,  particularly  in  the  human  sacrifices  of  the  former,  the 
learned  Count,  calls  his  attention  to  the  sanguinary  worship  of  the 
Greeks  and  Scythians.  He  recalls  to  the  memory  of  the  author  of 
Mecherches  des  PhilosopJiiqtie,  the  learning  and  science  of  the  Peruvi- 
ans and  Mexicans  as  exhibited  by  their  knowledge  of  Astronomy. 
When  De  Pauw  recites  from  Herrera  that  the  caciques  of  some  Indian 
nations  deflowered  all  the  virgins  of  their  tribes  before  permitting  them 
to  marry,  the  Count  reminds  him  of  the  primal  noctes  of  the  French 
seignieurs,  and  the  Romans.  Where  the  first  charges  the  Indians 
with  Phallic  worship,  Carli,  recalls  the  obscene  rites  of  Isis,  and  Ceres. 
He  finds  evidences  of  the  ceremonies  of  baptism,  circumcision  and 
communion  of  bread  and  wine  ;  but  he  accounts  for  the  prevalence  of 
these  customs  by  reviving  the  absurd  theory  of  the  subsidence  of  the 
land  once  filling  the  ocean  between  Africa  and  America,  whose  fancied 
inhabitants  were  styled  the  Atlantides.  The  translation  into  French 
was  made  by  M.  Lefebure  de  Villebrune.

This  relation  of  Cartier's  first  voyage,  was  preserved  solely  by  Ea-

to  exist.  So  rare  had  it  become  fifty  years  later  subsequent  to  its  issue, 
that  the  French  publisher  of  the  second  edition,  found  himself  com- 
pelled to  retranslate  it  from  the  Italian.  The  title  of  this  edition  was 
changed  to  Discours  du  Voyag'e  fait  par  le  Capitaine  Jacques  Cartier

Cartier  which  has  come  down  to  us  in  the  original  French,  and  so  com- 
pletely unknown  had  it  remained  until  recently,  that  Ternaux  Corn-

of  his  third  voyage  were  only  preserved  by  Hakluyt's  transcripts.

[General  History  and  Description  of  New  France,  with  the  Historical 
Journal  of  a  Tour  made  by  order  of  the  King  in  North  America.] 
The  extraordinary  man  who  was  the  author  of  these  volumes  left  no 
subject  relating  to  the  history  of  the  affairs  of  his  wonderful  order  in 
America  untouched,  and  as  the  missions  of  the  Company  of  Jesus 
among  the  Indians  were  the  principal  purpose  of  the  fathers  in  both 
of  the  Americas,  the  cvulosity  of  Charlevoix  permeated  every  access- 
ible square  mile  of  their  surface  to  learn  the  habits,  the  customs,  and 
the  secrets  of  the  life  of  the  strange  people  his  brethren  sought  to  sub- 
due to  the  influence  of  the  cross.  Father  Charlevoix  accomplished 
results  in  his  investigations  which  seem  marvelous  to  us  in  the  vast 
accumulation  of  facts  which  his  pen  has  illustrated.  Of  his  numerous 
works,  the  Nouvelle  France  is  the  greatest  achievement.  Concerning 
the  various  editions  see  Sabin's  Dictionary,  No.  13135.

The  author's  name  was  ^ Barton.     The  sanguinary  wretches  of 

Pennsylvania,  who  have  been  pilloried  before  the  world  under  the  title  of 
"  Paxton-Men,"  thought  it  necessary  to  print  their  defense  against  the 
charges  of  monstrous  cruelty  and  cowardice,  made  by  Franklin  in  his 
Massacres  of  Indians  at  Lancaster.  These  fastidious  murderers 
slaughtered  a  number  of  inoffensive  Christian  Indians,  out  of  revenge 
for  the  outrages  committed  by  their  savage  brethren,  whom  these  cow- 
ardly frontiersmen  feared  to  encounter.  This  tract  is  their  attempted 
exculpation,  but  it  has  hitherto  only  monumented  their  own  infamy.

The  first  and  fifth  relations  of  his  conquests  by  Cortes,  were  not 
knosvn  to  exist  until  late  in  the  eighteenth  century.  They  were  not 
printed  in  any  language  until  1844,  when  they  appeared  in  the  collec- 
tion of  Navarette.  The  second  third  and  fourth  letters  had  been  trans- 
lated  by  Ned  Folsom  and  printed  i  ;  1843.  This  Relacion  in  common 
with  all  of  the  Conquiscador's  narratives  is  filled  with  the  incidents  of 
his  battle  with  the  Indians,  descriptions  of  their  towns  and  principal 
chiefs,  and  the  minutest  details  of  their  peculiarities,  for  which  he  well 
knew  the  appetite  of  the  Emperor  was  insatiable.

The  first  English  edition  is  vastly  superior  to  that  of  1820,  which  is 
not  only  an  abridged,  but  an  interpolated  edition.  The  miuute  jour- 
nal of  the  noble  Moravian  Brethren,  gives  us  in  their  own  language 
the  phases  of  Aboriginal  life  and  peculiarites  which  daily  presented 
themselves.  No  tribe  of  American  savages  has  been  more  closely  or 
intelligently  studied.

The  principal  value  which  attaches  to  this  scarce  book,  is  comprised 
in  the  narrative  of  the  captivity  of  Le  Raye.  His  Journal  of  personal 
experience  among  the  fierce  Sioux  has  much  more  than  the  usual  mo- 
dicum of  real  merit,  to  which  such  relations  are  entitled,  as  it  is  the 
result  of  the  observations,  regarding  the  habits  of  this  nomad  nation, 
of  a  man  of  some  intelligence.  Le  Raye's  Journal  was  never  published 
in  any  other  form.    Plates  include  the  earliest  engraving  of  Cincinnati.

One  of  the  most  thorough,  complete,  and  authentic  treatises,  relating 
to  the  Border  Wars  of  the  West,  ever  printed.  The  fine  portraiture 
of  the  aboriginal  character,  the  narration  of  the  minutest  incidents  of 
camp,  treaty,  and  war,  and  the  style  of  simple  candor  adopted  by  a 
scholarly  mind,  all  commend  the  narrative  to  our  judgment,  and  attract 
our  interest  in  its  progress.

This  splendid  Series  of  Voyages  is  the  grand  piece  de  resistance  of 
this  Library.  It  was  purchased  by  the  editor  of  this  Catalogue  at  the 
Sale  of  tlie  Library  of  the  late  Baron  de  Sobolewski  of  Moscow,  Russia, 
in  1873.  Since  that  period  Mr.  Field  has  supplied  some  of  the  defi- 
ciencies in  the  set  and  now  it  lacks  only  two  leaves  of  letter  press  in  part 
xiii.  to  be  absolutely  perfect.  Mr.  Field  has  also  supplied  many  plates 
in  duplicate  in  addition  to  those  already  provided  by  the  industry  of 
M.  de  Sobolewski,  and  the  set  now  offered  is  altogether  the  finest  ever 
sold  in  the  United  States.  Some  of  our  readers  may  not  be  aware  of 
the  fact  that  M.  de  Sobolewski  had  made  the  completion  of  DeBry's 
Voyages  the  main  bibliographical  feature  of  a  long  life  devoted  to  such 
pursuits.  M.  Brunet  in  his  "  Manuel  du  Librarie  "  pays  special  com- 
pliments to  this  distinguished  savant  and  many  American  collectors 
can  readily  attest  to  the  difficulty  of  gathering  these  voyages  the  pub- 
lication of  which  occupied  nearly  fifty  years. —  Father,  son,  grandson 
having  successively  undertaken  their  publication,  and  concerning  this 
thirteenth  part  we  are  able  to  say  that  a  very  eminent,  enthusiastic 
and  determined  book  collector  in  Brooklyn  has  for  over  twenty-five 
years  been  vainly  seeking  to  secure  this  thirteenth  part  which  is  in- 
cluded in  this  collection.  We  may  add  that  this  series  is  entirely  com- 
posed of  the  first  editions  in  which  the  plates  are  the  most  brilliant, 
and  for  the  information  of  the  buyer  we  translate  from  M.  de  Sobo- 
lewski's  Catalogue  the  description  of  the  various  volumes  which  com- 
prise this  set,  and  we  add  a  graphic  account  of  the  series  from  the  pen 
of  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  of  London,  whose  acquaintance  with  DeBry,  is 
perhaps  only  equalled  by  that  of  one  other  gentleman,  whose  extensive 
collections  in  this  department  are  unrivalled,  we  refer  to  Mr.  James 
Lenox  of  this  city.  If  further  information  is  sought  we  refer  to  Sabin's 
Dictionary  Vol.  iii. 

Messrs.  Liste  and  Francke  who  sold  M.  Sobolewski's  Library  thus 
describe  the  set : 

Part  I.  1590.  The  first  edition,  as  described  by  Brunet,  with  all 
the  plates,  and  besides  plates  iii,  iv,  v,  vi,  vii,  viii,  ix  and  xxii  in 


duplicate  with  the  diflferences  cited  by  Brunet.     "The  Eleuch  us  re- 
printed by  DeBure  iu  10  leaves  is  added. 

Part  ir.  1591.  The  subscription  will  be  found  printed  on  a  separate 
leaf,  which  is  placed  at  the  end  of  the  43  plates.  At  the  end  are  added 
four  leaves  from  the  second  edition,  presenting  some  variations. 

Part  III.  1592.  The  engraved  title  of  the  2d  edition  with  the  name 
of  J.  de  Bry  substituted  for  that  of  Feyrabriid.  The  plate  of  the  seven 
shields  is  without  the  virtues.  The  engraved  frontispiece  "  Navigatia 
in  Brasilian  "  of  the  second  edition  with  the  name  of  J.  DeBry.  Page 
114  with  the  plate  of  Adam  and  Eve.  In  other  particulars  correspond- 
ing to  Brunei's  description.     iSorae  of  the  engravings  spotted. 

Part  rv.  1594.  The  title  in  duplicate,  with  variations  with  and 
without  privilege.  A  double  set  of  the  24  plates,  which  although  they 
have  figures  on  the  plates  are  of  the  ffrst  edition,  as  may  be  seen  by 
the  explanation  below. 

Partv.  1595.  Texte  72  pages  which  according  to  Brune,  is  a  part  of  the 
second  edition,  but  according  to  Camus  and  Debure  Ijelongs  to  the 
first. 

Parts  VI.  1596.  The  frontispiece  which  precedes  the  engravings  has 
the  title  plate  bearing  the  words :  Sequunter  Icones,  etc."  According

from  the  Mirrour  de  Spilberg. 

Part  XI.     1619.  Cum  appendice  1620.     According  to  Brunet.

113,  116, 126,  127, 151  and  152  are  wanting.  The  verso  of  folio  131  and 
the  recto  of  folio  134  are  blank. 

Part  XIII.  1634.  According  to  Brunet,  with  the  9  maps  and  engrav- 
ings. The  thirteen  parts  are  bound  in  twelve  vols.,  in  excellent  con- 
dition, excepting  the  trifling  defects  indicated. 


Mr.  Henry  Stevens  in  his  Bibliotlieca  Historica  remarks  concerning 
DeBry.     "  It  has  become  the  fashion  within  tlie  last  lew  years  for  bib- 
liographers, especially  those  who  have  got  beyond  their  depth,  to  de- 
preciate and  decry  the  great  collection  of  voyages  of  the  DeBrys.  They 
charge  that  these  famous  engravers  had  not  a  due  regard  for  historic 
truth,  and  drew  upon  their  imaginations  for  most  of  their  fine  pictures 
of  men,  animals,  and  things  in  foreign  countries.     The  accounts  of 
Virginia  and  Florida,  being  parts  1  and  2  of  the  American  Collection, 
are  said  to  be  overdrawn,  mere  fancy  sketches,  and  therefore  calculated 
only  to  mislead  the  truth-loving  historian.     These  charges  are  based 
solely  on  negative  testimony,  that  is,  they  say,  that  none  of  the  ori- 
ginal paintings  used  by  the  DeBrys  are  known  to  exist,  and  the  en- 
gravings have  the  appearance  of  German  manufacture.     Now  it  has 
been  the  good  fortune  of  the  writer,  in  his  bibliographical  mousings 
up  and  down  the  world,  to  light  upon  the  original  paintings  which 
DeBry  used  for  his  Virginia  and  part  of  his  Florida,  and  to  turn  up 
other  facts  which,  all   put  together,  not  only  clear  the  DeBrys  of  the 
charge  of  disregard  of  truth,  but  go  far  toward  establishing  their  great 
Collections  as  trustworthy,  and  as  honestly  put  forth  by  them.     If  the 
Voyagers  exaggerated  their  own  accounts,  it  was  not  the  fault  of  the 
DeBrys.     A  synoposis  of  the  story  may  perhaps  as  well  be  recorded 
here  as  anywhere,  and  may  be  brought  back  to  the  anvil ,  rehammered 
and  worked  up  with  authorities  hereafter.     It  is  well  known  tliat, 
after  the  failure  of  the  Huguenot  attempts  to  make  settlements  in 
Florida  under  Ribault  and  Laudonnifer  in  1562-1566,  the  artist  of  the 
latter  expedition  —  one  of  the  very  few  who  escaped  the  terrible  massa- 
cre by  Menendez  —  Le  Moine  by  name,  retired  to  London,  resided  in 
the  Blackfriars,  and  subsequently  became  a  "  servant  to  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh."     Raleigh  had  known  Hakluyt  and  his  studies  in  Cosmogra- 
phy, while  student  at  Oxford,  and  subsequently  in  London,  while  in- 
terested in  the  expeditions  of  Frobisher,  Gilbert,  and  others,  had  in- 
tercourse with  the  author  oi'  Diverse  Voyages.     Again,  somewhat  later, 
after  finishing  his  little  matters  in  Flanders,  Raleigh  found  himself  in 
Paris,  and  there  was  Hakluyt  again,  nominally  Chaplain  to  the  Englisli 
Embassy  under  Sir  E.  Stafford,  but  really  hunting  historical  and  geo- 
graphical material  for  a  greater  work  on  the  voyages  of  his  countrymen 
among  the  outside  barbarians.     Here  in  1584  Hakluyt  finished  for 
Raleigh  an  elaborate  geographical  treatise,  designed  to  induce  Eliza- 
beth to  grant  to  Raleigh  and  his  friends  a  liberal  charter  for  discovery 
and  plantation  in  a  more  southern  latitude  than  had  before  been  at- 
tempted by  the  English.     They  pitched  upon  the  territory  just  north 
of  that  which  they  found  described  in  Laudonnifer's  Journal,  which 
Hakluyt  had  secured,  and  which  was  pictured  in  the  maps  and  draw- 
ings of  Le  Moine.     A  reconnoitering  expedition  had  been  sent  out  by 
Raleigh  in  1584  under  the  command  of  Amidas  and  Barlow,  which  re- 
turned in  September.     The  results  of  this  voyage,  and  Hakluyt's  Paper 
(63  closely-written  large  folio  pages),  entitled  "  A  particular  discourse 
concerning  the  greate  necessitie  and  manifold  comodyties  that  are  like 
to  grow  to  this  Realme  of  Englande  by  the  westerne  discoveries  lately 
attempted,  written  in  the  yere  1584,  by  Richarde  Hakluyt   ...    at 
the  requeste  of  Mr.  Walter  Raleigh  before  the  coming  home  of  his  two 


Barkes  "  [from  the  nortli  of  Florida]  etc.,  secured  from  the  Queen  the 
desired  (  barter  for  six  years  and  no  more,  that  is,  to  make  discoveries 
and  found  plantations  up  to  1590,  when  the  Charter  expired  by  limi- 
tation. While  in  Paris,  Ilakluyt  induced  his  friend  Basanier  to  edit 
Laudonnifer's  Journal,  and  publish  it  under  the  patronage  of  Raleigh, 
while  he  himself,  under  the  same  patronage,  brought  out  his  excellent 
edition  of  Peter  Martyr's  Eight  Decades,  with  the  best  map  by  F.  G., 
of  the  new  hemisphere  that  had  been  compiled  up  to  that  time.  Ba- 
eanier's  book  appeared  in  1586,  and  Hakluyt's  in  1587.  Laudonnifer's 
Journal  fell  into  the  hands  of  Theodore  DeBry,  an  enterprising  en- 
graver at  Frankfort,  formerly  of  Liege.  One  of  the  ten  or  a  dozen  who 
escaped  the  massacre  in  Florida  was  a  young  man  named  DeBry,  pro- 
bably a  relative  of  the  engraver.  At  all  events  the  engraver  took  a 
deep  interest  in  the  work,  and  in  1587  went  to  London  to  see  LeMoine 
in  the  Blackfriars,  with  a  view  of  obtaining  some  of  his  paintings,  to 
enable  him  to  reproduce  Loudonnifer's' Journal  with  illustrations.  But 
being  at  the  time  in  Raleigh's  service,  Le  Moine  was  either  unable  or 
imwilling  to  give  De  Bry  all  he  wanted.  But  Le  Moine  dying  the  next 
year,  De  Bry  returned  to  London  in  1588,  and  succeeded  in  bujing  of 
the  widow  the  rest  of  the  Florida  collection.  But  while  there  he  fell 
in  with  Hakluyt,  who  was  then  engaged  in  bringing  out  his  first  folio 
Collection  of  Voyages.  Hakluyt  informed  De  Bry  of  the  recent  Vir- 
ginia Expeditions  under  Raleigh's  Charter,  and  suggested  that,  instead 
of  bringing  out  his  Florida  as  a  separate  book,  he  had  better  take  the 
new  book  of  Master  Thomas  Hariot,  just  out  of  the  press,  and  illus- 
trate it  from  the  portfolio  of  John  White,  the  artist  sent  out  by  Queen 
Elizabeth  as  chief  Draughtsman  in  the  expedition  of  1585,  who  had 
recently  returned,  dedicate  the  work  to  Raleigh,  and  so  begin  a  grand 
illustrated  collection  of  voyages,  the  Virginia  being  the  first  part,  the 
Florida  to  be  held  back  to  form  the  second  part.  Hariot,  White,  Ra- 
leigh, and  De  Bry  all  fell  into  this  arrangement,  and  Hakluyt  agreed 
to  write  the  descriptions  of  White's  maps  and  pictures.  DeBry  thus 
having  filled  his  portfolios  with  copies  of  White's  works  and  the  origi- 
nals of  the  late  Le  Moine's  paintings,  returned  to  Frankfort,  and,  with 
incredible  enterprise  and  perseverance,  brought  out  his  Virginia  in 
1590,  and  the  Florida  in  1591,  the  latter  as  the  Second  Part  of  a  Col- 
lection of  Voyages.  The  Florida  by  this  arrangement  had  been  en- 
larged by  additional  pieces  and  plates.  From  this  brief  statement  it 
will  be  perceived  that  thus  far  DeBry's  Collection  is  perfectly  authentic, 
and  in  its  origin  is  essentially  English.  In  another  place  we  think  it 
will  not  be  difficult  to  show  that  he  was  alike  painstaking  and  straight- 
forward in  the  materials  of  all  the  other  parts  of  both  his  America  and 
India,  and  hence  it  must  follow  that  the  Collections  are  as  deserving 
of  confidence  as  the  original  Voyages  from  which  they  are  reprinted, 
translated,  and  edited."

Soutbey,  tbe  poet.  Dobrizboeffer,  was  one  of  those  extraordinary  men, 
who  organized  in  Paraguay  a  government  that  has  not  ceased  to  excite 
the  wonder  and  perplex'tbe  reason  of  all  who  tried  to  comprehend  its 
strange  anomalies.  For  a  century  and  a  half  it  existed  as  a  pure 
hierarchy,  insulated  and  intact ;  more  mysterious  than  the  fabled  Ama- 
zonian Republic,  or  the  equally  mythical  El  Dorado.  For  a  hall'  century 
succeedintj  it  has  remained  the  only  example  of  a  people,  professing  to 
be  free,  existing  under  a  tyranny  supported  solely  by  themselves.

the  Author.     8°,  half  calf.     Map.  London,  1818 

Chapters  vii,  to  xx.,  pp.  100  to  225,  are  devoted  to  descriptions  of  the 
occupations,  implements,  habitations,  persons,  customs,  habits,  mourn- 
ing, pastimes,  etc.,  of  the  natives  of  Greenland.  In  chapter  xv,  is 
given  a  specimen  of  one  of  their  songs  in  the  Esquimaux  language 
with  the  parallel  passages  in  English,  occupying  four  pages.  Chapter 
xvi,  treats  of  the  principles  of  thai  tongue  with  a  vocabulary  and 
grammatical  analysis  of  twelve  pages.  Although  the  quaint  relation 
of  the  Danish  missionary  Egede  affords  us  little  information  regarding 
the  natives  of  Greenland  which  has  not  often  been  printed,  yet  his 
narratives  of  incidents  among  them,  and  descriptions  of  their  charac- 
teristics at  that  early  day  (1721),  are  valuable  as  historical  records.

The  subject  of  this  narrative  was  the  granddaughter  of  a  Narragan- 
set  Indian  squaw  and  an  African  chief,  and  is  interesting  ethnologi-

Of  the  sixty  pioneer  women  whose  biographies  appear  in  this  volume, 
nearly  all  ob:ained  the  celebrity  which  gives  them  a  place  in  it,  on  the 
frontier,  in  conflict  with  the  Indians.  Much  the  largest  portion  of  the 
book  is  therefore  occupied  with  the  details  of  female  heroism,  or  suffer- 
ings from  Indian  wars  or  barbarity.  The  work  owes  little  to  other 
printed  books  ;  its  material  bavin  been  collected  by  the  author  from 
original  sources,  which  were  either  documents,  the  personal  narrations 
of  actors  or  their  friends.

complete  series  of  tlie  various  tracts  issued  by  the  "  Corporation 
for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  among  the  Indians,"  etc.,  all  of 
them  are  scarce  but  some  are  of  extreme  rarity. 

The  complete  series  consists  of  eleven,  and  is  probably,  next  to  the 
Jesuit  Relations,  the  most  difficult  to  reassemble  in  good  copies,  of  any 
works  relating  to  American  History.  Some  of  these  Protestant  rela- 
tions of  missions  among  the  Indians,  bring  almost  fabulous  prices. 
One  hundred  and  seventy  dollars  has  been  paid  for  that  of  1659  (No.  9), 
and  one  hundred  dollars  was  paid  both  by  Mr.  Menzies  and  myself  for 
that  of  1671,  They  are  doubtless  all  written  by  the  hand,  or  from 
material  furnished  by  the  writings  of  John  Eliot.  No  series  of  works 
relating  to  American  history  are  more  sought  for  ;  and  the  collector 
who  possesses  a  large  part  of  either  the  Catholic  or  Protestant  Rela- 
tions of  Missions,  while  he  has  something  to  boast  of,  has  still  a  long 
period  of  expectancy  to  keep  alive  his  interest,  before  he  will  complete 
either  one  of  them." —  Field.

If  there  ever  existed  a  tribe  of  savages  who  were  recognized  by  such

by  this  rule  the  author  himself  had  but  little  advantage.  He  termi- 
nates his  narrative  by  marriage  with  a  maiden  of  Spencer  in  New

Avas  ever  a  captive  to  any  savage  tribe  is  somewhat  uncertain ;  his

fourtli,  and  the  imperfect  work  is  believed  to  be  complete  on  account  of 
tlie  finis  and  the  table.  The  relations  of  the  Buccaneers  are  full  of 
particulars  of  the  Indians  who  two  centuries  since  inhabited  the 
islands  and  the  main  of  the  Caribbean  Sea.  The  fierce  French  and 
English  marauders  who  so  constantly  overcame  the  Spaniards,  were 
as  constantly  checked  or  defeated  whenever  they  assailed  the  Indians 
of  the  Isthmus  or  the  adjacent  countries.  But  the  most  noteworthy  his- 
torical fact  elucidated  by  this  volume,  is  the  proof  of  the  retributive 
fruit  of  vengeance  forever  produced  from  the  vile  seeds  of  cruelty. 
The  Spauiacd,  who  for  a  century  and  a  half  had  devastated  the  coun- 
tries of  the  Indians,  with  cruelties  born  of  hell,  was  now  to  become  the 
prey  of  fiends  as  ferocious  and  vindictive  but  more  powerful  than 
himself.

The  author  was  the  son  of  one  of  the  conquerors  of  Peru,  Garcilaso 
de  la  Vega,  by  the  daughter  of  the  Inca  Huallpa  Tupac,  and  sister  of 
Huayna  Capac  Inca,  the  last  native  monarch  of  Peru.  He  was  so 
proud  of  both  paternal  and  maternal  origin,  that  while  he  assumed 
the  Spanish  name  of  the  first,  he  was  careful  to  assert  his  Incarial 
descent.  He  was  evidently  a  gentleman  of  refinement,  and  possessed 
of  much  more  learning  than  was  usually  acquired  by  the  conquestadors 
themselves.  Tliat  one  of  Indian  blood,  and  a  descendant  of  the  proud 
race  of  the  Incas,  slioukl  have  bcseu  the  most  industrious  and  careful 
historian  of  the  evil  fortunes  of  his  race,  and  the  chronicler  of  the  vic- 
tories of  their  concpii^-ors,  may  well  excite  our  surprise.

The  history  of  the  French  Domination  occupies  two  volumes,  and 
that  of  the  Spanish,  one.  The  first  two,  are  very  largely  composed  of 
the  details  of  French  negotiation,  wars,  and  intercourse  with  the  Indians 
of  that  vast  territory  once  known  as  Louisiana.  Gleaned  from  all 
sources,  except  original  and  unpublished  documents,  it  is  yet  an  in- 
teresting and  in  some  respects  a  valuable  naration.  It  pictures  the 
life  of  the  Aborigines,  with  all  the  fidelity  which  a  romantic  para- 
phrase of  history  can  do.

of  this  memoir.  Five  hundred  Christian  Indians,  accused  most  un- 
warrantably of  association  with  the  murders  by  Pagan  tribes,  were 
lodged  for  safety  on  Deer  Island  in  Boston  harbor,  and  the  populace 
of  Boston  raged  for  their  blood,  with  as  vehement  savagery  as  the 
unsanctified  Dutch  under  Gov.  Kieft,  or  the  furibund  Scotch  Pres- 
byterians of  Paxton.  Gookin  opposed  this  murderous  sentiment  with 
such  firmness,  that  the  lives  of  the  prisoners  were  spared,  only  how- 
ever, to  endure  incredible  sufferings,  from  the  rigors  of  winter,  un- 
sheltered and  starving.

tions  not  made  by  the  author.  Harmon's  narration  of  events  among 
and  peculiarities  of  the  Indian  tribes  is  believed  by  those  familiar  with 
him,  and  the  regions  he  visited,  to  be  correct ;  but  the  life  of  a  fur- 
trader,  dispensing  fire  water  to  the  Indians,  while  daily  witnessing  the 
murders  it  produced,  was  not  favorable  to  religious  emotions.  Mr.  ■ 
Haskell  makes  the  writer  reject  the  proffer  of  an  Indian  concubine  by 
her  father,  with  very  proper  pious  emotions ;  but  Mr.  Schoolcraft  inti- 
mates that  the  latter  were  not  more  consonant  with  his  character  than 
the  story  of  his  continence.  A  copious  vocabulary  of  the  Cree  or 
Knistenaw  language  is  given  on  pp.  385  to  413.  The  journal  of  events 
in  his  life  as  an  Indian  trader,  terminates  at  page  273,  and  two  subdi- 
visions entitled  "  Account  of  the  Indians  living  East  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains,"  and  "Account  of  the  Indians  living  West  of  the  Rocky

In  this  book,  now  exceedingly  rare  and  highly  prized,  the  author 
has  brought  together  a  very  large  number  of  curious  facts,  relating  to 
the  origin  and  character  of  the  natives  of  his  State,  prior  to  the  settle- 
ment by  the  whites.  He  does  not  favor  the  hypothesis  of  great  anti- 
quity in  the  Indian  nations  of  America,  and  believes  in  their  common 
origin  with  the  Caucasian  race.  He  describes  with  great  minuteness 
and  care  the  relics  of  the  race  which  once  inhabited  the  territory,  its 
utensils,  skeletons,  crania,  and  fortifications,  most  of  which  he  appears 
to  have  personally  inspected.

The  narrative  o^  this  mission  is  a  history  of  the  noblest  labors  of  the 
human  race.  Heckewelder's  narrative  is  a  full  and  undoubtedly  faith- 
ful record  of  all  the  details  of  the  Mission,  its  wonderful  success  and 
its  appalling  destruction.  He  was  able  to  give  a  thousand  particulars 
from  personal  experience,  and  it  is  at  once  an  interesting  story  abound- 
ing in  veritable  incidents,  and  a  valuable  history,  fortified  by  impreg- 
nable facts.

the  title,  A  New  Discovery  of  a  Vast  Country  in  America.  The  work 
includes  the  substance  of  his  first  book,  but  more  minutely  describes 
the  characteristics  of  the  Indian  tribes  through  which  he  passed.  It 
was  very  exactly  reproduced  in  English,  even  to  the  divisions  into

Father  Hennepin  very  properly  terms  tliis,  bis  third  volume ;  being  a 
relation  of  subsequent  discoveries  ;  of  La  Salle's  assassination  ;  and  of 
the  customs  of  tribes  of  Indians,  unnoticed  in  bis  former  vporks.  The 
recent  acquisition  of  these  three  volumes,  enables  me  to  correct  im- 
pressions obtained  from  bibliographical  notices  of  Hennepin's  works, 
which  governed  me  when  the  note  to  No.  685  was  written.  This  vol- 
ume is  almost  perfectly  reproduced  in  the  Second  Part  of  the  English 
version,  entitled  Contimiation  of  tlie  New  Discovery.  Even  the  long, 
rambling  preface,  is  in  this  instance  presented  to  us  unmutilated.  All 
subsequent  top.  184,  of  the  English  entitled  An  Account  of  Several 
New  Discoveries  in  N.  A.,  is  not  to  be  found  in  the  French  editions. 
This  account  occujiying  44  pp.  purports  to  be  from  the  hand  of  Henne- 
pin ;  who  perhaps  added  it  at  the  instance  of  the  English  publisher. 
His  first  work  printed  in  1683,  and  again  in  1688  ;  has  never  been  pub- 
lished in  English.  It  formed  the  basis  for  the  other  two,  in  which^all 
its  material  was  reproduced.

It  has  been  the  fashion  until  late  in  this  age,  to  deride  the  work  of 
Father  Hennepin,  as  smacking  of  the  marvelous.  Indeed,  some  of  our 
savants  have  endeavored  to  prove  that  the  very  excellent  Father  Re- 
collect never  saw  any  of  the  wonders  he  narrates.  This  severe  criti- 
cism proceeds  from  sources  which  entitle  him  to  the  benefit  at  least  of 
a  doubt  of  its  impartiality.  First.  Father  Charlevoix,  who  cast  the 
first  cloud  of  suspicion,  was  a  missionary  priest  of  the  Jesuits,  who 
were  at  one  time  under  the  ban  in  New  France  through  the  influence 


131 

of  the  Recollects,  to  wliicli  order  Father  Hennepin  belonged.  Second. 
The  author  lost  the  support  of  his  own  brethren  of  the  order  of  Recol- 
lects by  neglecting  or  refusing  to  return  to  his  duties  in  America  as  a 
missionary.     Accordingly  retired  to  Utrecht  in  Holland."  Field.  ■

No  one  has  ever  disputed  the  fidelity  of  old  Herrera,  styled  the  Prince 
of  Historians,  to  the  sources  of  information  then  accessible,  and  no  one 
has  ever  exceeded  him  in  careful  research,  and  interesting  narration  of 
aboriginal  history.  He  sought  and  obtained  many  of  the  original  docu- 
ments, which  the  industry  and  spirit  of  the  old  missionaries  and  ex- 
plorers made  so  numerous  and  voluminous.  He  copied,  almost  bodily, 
the  MS.  History  ot  the  Indies  by  Las  Casas.  Mr.  Squier  notices  that 
he  has  transferred  almost  the  entire  MS.  Relacion  of  Palacio,  to  his 
Fourth  Decade.  His  work  is  a  perfect  treasure-house  of  the  most  valu- 
ble  details,  regarding  the  original  state  of  the  religion  and  manners  of 
the  Indians.

Mr.  Hopkins's  Memoir  is  one  of  the  rarest  of  works  relatinjr  to  New 
England,  as  it  is  one  of  the  most  intrinsically  valuable.  This 
abridgment  fails  in  the  last  quality  by  reason  of  its  abbreviation,  but 
is  nearly  as  rare.  The  last  six  pages  is  occupied  with  a  letter  of  Con-

Topographical  Engineers,  in  Charge.  4".  Washington,  1861 
The  wonders  explored  by  this  expedition,  and  for  the  first  time 
unveiled  to  the  world,  have  scarcely  yet  begun  to  be  credited.  The 
Colorado  flowing  between  perpendicular  walls  a  mile  and  a  quarter  in 
altitude,  is  not  the  only  development  of  this  exploration  which  excites 
our  interest.  Lieut.  Ives  was  the  first  to  give  us  the  results  of  an 
intelligent  observer  of  the  celebrated  yet  almost  mythical  fortified 
villages  of  the  Moquis  Indians.  Enclosing  by  a  wall  fifteen  to  twenty 
feet  high,  in  which  there  is  no  gate  or  entrance  way,  they  were  not 
more  secure  from  their  enemies,  than  they  were  secluded  and  mysteri- 
ous to  the  outer  world.  For  more  than  three  centuries  their  very 
existence  liad  remained  one  of  the  problems  of  history  ;  but  in  this 
volume  the  author  exposes  them  to  the  glare  of  the  light  of  investiga- 
tion. Ten  large  colored  plates  representing  dwellings,  physiognomy 
and  habits.

A  pleasing  and  truthful  historical  narrative  of  the  missions  of  Elliot 
among  the  Indians  at  Natick  and  Nonantum.     The  details  and  inci- 


152 

dents  are  evidently  derived  from  authentic  sources  ;  and  with  the  bio- 
graphical sketches  of  notable  Indian  converts,  the  narratives  of  their 
persecutions  of  Christian  Indians  by  the  Puritans,  and  the  table  of 
Indian  names  and  their  significations,  form  a  work  of  no  inconsiderable 
value  in  Indian  history.

In  all  of  Major  Long's  explorations,  the   natives  of  the  territories 
through  which  he  passed  received  the  largest  share  of  his  attention. 
This  will   be  evident  from  an  examination  of  the  table  of  contents  of 
each  volume.

The  editor  obtained  the  material  for  its  construction  from  the  lips  of 
John  Tanner,  a  captive  white  who  had  resided  among  the  Indians  for 
thirty  years.  His  relation  of  his  life  among  the  Northern  Indians,  is 
probably  the  most  minute  if  not  authentic  detail  of  their  habits,  modes 
of  living,  and  social  customs,  ever  printed.

The  first  form,  in  which  Jefferson  produced  the  great  mass  of  testi- 
mony, relating  to  the  murder  of  Logan's  family  and  other  peaceable 
Indians,  by  Cresap's  party  of  marai^ders.  If  the  evidence  of  the  perpe- 
tration of  these  crimes,  and  of  the  authenticity  of  Logan's  wonderful 
speech,  are  not  conclusive,  then  historical  testimony,  fortified  by  cor- 
roboration from  living  witnesses ;  must  be  as  illusory  as  fiction.  Re-

Almost  twenty  years  of  personal  explorations  of  burial  and  sacrificial 
mounds  find  in  this  volume  the  record  of  their  results.  No  volume  having 
the  examination  of  American  antiquities  for  its  subject,  was  ever  prepar- 
ed under  such  favorable  auspices  for  its  perfection.  The  zeal  and  learning 
of  its  author,  impelled  him  to  supplement  the  theories  of  others  by  his 
own  explorations,  and  discoveries.  The  plates  are  from  drawings  of 
his  own  collection  and  numerous  as  the  objects  they  illustrate,  they 
represent  but  a  small  portion  of  those  which  his  industry  and  good 
fortune  have  made  him  the  possessor.

hundred  treatises  on  the  origin  of  the  American  Indians,  said  to  have 
been  offered  for  consideration  to  a  French  Society,  on  the  first  meeting 
aftei' the  announc(!ment  of  the  subject.  The  learned  Count  traces  the 
Tyrian  exiles  directly  to  the  shores  of  America,  with  almost  as  much 
definiteness,  as  he  could  had  he  accom])anied  them.  It  only  needs  an 
Appendix,  tracing  the  ancestry  of  the  American  aborigines  through  the 
Tyrians,  from  tlie  phmet  Herschel,  to  complete  his  scheme, —  Field.

map.  The  curious  relation  of  Joutel,  was  the  last  which  the  public 
received  of  the  unfortunate  expedition,  in  which  La  Salle  perished.  It 
was  written  by  one  of  the  companions  of  that  celebrated  traveler,  who 
seems  to  have  been  the  only  one  on  whom  La  Salle  could  rely.  Joutel 
was  fortunate  enough  to  render  him  some  important  services.

respective  scales  of  measurement,  and  accompanying  descrip- 
tions; the  whole  illustrated  by  many  valuable  iuedited  MSS.  9 
vols.,  imp.  folio,  containing  upwards  of  1000  large  colored  plates, 
embracing  all  the  Remains  of  Mexican  Architecture,  Art,  Re-

The  immense  number  of  historical  documents  preserved  in  these 
volumes,  whose  mystery  has  never  yet  been  solved,  may  be  conceived 
when  we  state  that  the  first  volmne  contains  238,  the  second  225, 
and  the  third  152  colored  plates,  in  imitation  of  the  barbaric  task  of 
the  Aztec  historians.  Many  of  these  plates  contain  hundreds  of  fig- 
ures. The  fourth  volume  contains  plates,  of  which  many  are  immense 
folded  sheets  ;  and  although  uucolored,  are  beautifully  executed  repre- 
sentations of  idols,  statues,  buildings  and  fortifications.  The  fifth  vol- 
ume, 493  pages,  is  entirely  occupied  with  descriptions,  (in  Spanish),  of 
the  plates  in  the  first  four  volumes  ;  and  the  sixth  volume,  540  pages,  is 
filled  with  translations  of  these  descriptions  accompanied  bj'  numerous 
and  lengthy  notes.  The  seventh  volume,  404  pages,  contains  a  report 
of  Father  Sahagan's  Historia  de  Nueva  Espana.  Volume  eight  con- 
tains notes  in  English,  entitled  a  Continuation  of  Vol.  VI,  and  Extracts 
from  Garcia,  Acosta  and  Torquemado,  with  Veytia  and  Simon's  Trea- 
tises on  the  Origin  of  the  Indians ;  and  a  report  of  Adair's  History  of 
the  North  American  Indians.  In  volume  nine,  the  learned  and  noble 
editor  published,  for  the  first  time,  the  work  of  Tezozomoc,  entitled 
'  Cronica  Mexicana,'  he  also  reproduces  the  work  of  Ixtlilxochitl,  on 
the  history  of  the  Chicemecas.  Also  another  work  by  the  same  author 
entitled  Belaciones  Historical,  which  I  have  not  seen  elsewhere 
printed.  The  last  treatise  (in  Spanish),  is  Ancient  Rites,  sacrifices  and 
idolatries  of  the  Indians  of  New  Spain. 

The  sad  story  associated  with  these  volumes,  although  often  related, 
is  worthy  of  repetition  wherever  learning  is  honored,  or  devotion  to 
literature  esteemed.  The  Viscount,  Edward  Kingsborough,  seems  to 
have  become  early  imbued  with  that  zeal  bordering  on  infatuation 
which  had  illured  so  many  scholars  before  him ;  the  desire  to  prove 
that  the  American  Indians  were  descendants  of  the  Jews ;  the  mystery 
of  the  Aztec  pictographs,  first  attracted  his  interest  and  he  re- 
solved to  at  least  preserve  these  unsolved  symbols  from  destruction. 


167 

While  a  scliolar  at  Oxford,  tlie  sight  of  an  original  Aztec  pictograph, 
described  by  Purclios  aroused  that  devotion,  which  never  faltered 
through  the  remainder  of  his  life.  For  the  accomplishment  of  his 
designs,  he  engaged  the  services  of  several  soholars  and  learned 
bibliophiles.  It  was  while  engaged  in  this  employment,  that  Mr. 
Obadiah  Rich  obtained  much  of  that  store  of  information  relating  to 
the  early  history  of  America,  which  made  him  eminent.  All  the 
libraries  and  archives  of  Spain,  were,  by  royal  mandate  opened  to  his 
search,  and  nearly  one  hundred  folio  volumes  of  MS.  copies  of  import- 
ant historical  documents  rewarded  his  labors.  The  whole  of  this 
treasure,  was,  after  the  death  of  Lord  Kingsborough,  sold  at  auction 
in  Dubhn,  and  Mr.  Rich  had  the  good  fortune  to  obtain  it  almost 
entire.  It  is  impossible  to  narrate  without  sadness,  the  fatal  termina- 
tion of  this  generous  nobleman's  devotion  to  his  project.  After 
having  expended  more  than  £30,000,  he  refused  to  comply  with  what  he 
conceived  to  be  the  unjust  demands  of  the  paper  makers,  and  was 
arrested  in  Dublin,  and  put  in  prison,  when  he  was  seized  with  the 
jail  fever  and  died  in  a  few  days.  Had  he  lived  a  few  months  longer, 
he  would  have  inherited  the  title  of  Earl  of  Kingston,  with  an  estate 
of  £40,000  a  year.  Thus  fortune  laughs  at  our  miseries ;  and  mocks 
us  with  success  that  comes  too  late.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  Mr. 
Rich,  who  tells  us  this  sad  story,  and  adds  with  j  ustifiable  gratification, 
that  Lord  Kingsborough  presented  him  with  one  of  the  ten  copies 
printed  on  large  drawing  paper,  should  not  have  informed  us  how 
large  a  number  of  copies  possessed  the  colored  plates,  although  the 
other  nine  were  presented  to  crowned  heads,  and  public  institutions.

Asher  remarks,  concerning  this  work,  that  he  could  not  find  a  copy  in 
Holland.  It  contains  many  materials  not  to  be  found  in  the  original 
Dutch.  Charlevoix  says  :  "  This  work  is  full  of  the  most  excellent  and 
curious  details  of  the  natural  history,  and  the  character,  manners,  and 
customs  of  the  American  aborigines,  derived  from  the  reports  of  the 
European  mission  establishments  in  America.  It  contains  many  docu- 
ments upon  American  philology,  taken  for  the  most  part  from  the  col- 
lection of  Ramusio,  upon  the  languages  of  the  natives  of  Canada,  and 
the  relation  of  Lery  of  those  of  Brazil."

Containing  an  exact  description  of  the  Manners  and  Customs  of  the

nary. The  traits  of  the  savages  are  doftbtle.ss  fairly  illustrated  in  its 
course,  but  it  was  used  as  a  medium  by  the  author  to  proclaim  his

The  work  of  La  Hontan  has  not  received  the  amount  of  credit  to 
which  it  is  really  entitled,  although  written  by  a  man  of  more  than 
ordinary  learning  and  intelliprence.  Had  he  written  no  other  work 
than  the  New  Voyages,  it  is  probable  that  it  would  have  experienced 
no  lack  of  esteem,  but  his  Kelations  even  when  scrupulously  exact, 
have  felt  the  mahgn  influence  of  the  skepticism  and  infidelity  which 
he  infused  into  his  subsequent  work.  Dialogue  between  the  Author  and 
a  Sauvage.  This  is  a  translation  of  his  Voyage  originally  published 
in  French,  in  1703.

interest  in  all  portions,  but  his  relations  of  the  peculiarities  he  observed 
in  the  natives  of  the  northwest  coast  of  North  America,  are  especially 
valuable  in  portraying  their  manners  at  that  early  day.

[The  Mirror  of  Spanish  Tyranny  perpetrated  in  the  West  Indies. 
We  see  in  it  a  Cruelty  more  than  inhuman  committed  by  the  Spaniards, 
also  a  description  of  ihe  countries,  natives,  and  their  nature.  Illustrated 
by  the  Bishop  Bartholomew  de  las  ( 'asas,  of  the  Order  of  Saint  Dominick. 
Newly  recollected,  with  copperplate  Figures.]  Seventeen  copperplate 
engravings  from  De  Bry  are  printed  in  the  text.  This  work  is  not  the 
same  as  the  Tyrannies  et  Gruautesdes  Espagnols.  It  differs  materially 
also  fi'om  that  afterwards  reprinted  under  the  title  of  Histoire  des  In- 
dies Occidentales.  It  is  a  translation  from  the  Dutch,  with  the  plates 
engraved  by  the  De  Bry's  for  the  edition  of  1598,  and  is  the  only  French 
edition  possessing  them.  It  has  been  considered  as  the  sequel  of  a 
work  illustrated  by  the  same  Engravers,  entitled,  Tyrannee  Esjjaynole 
perpetres  au  Pays  Bas,  although  it  is  entirely  independent  in  subject 
and  pagination.  The  Hollanders  took  every  pains  to  render  the  cruelty 
of  the  Spaniards  immortally  infamous,  and  the  genius  of  De  Bry  was 
exhausted  in  illustrating  their  ingenuity  of  torture.  It  contains  only  a 
portion  of  the  Brevissima  Relacion  and  Carte,  rearranged  and  distorted 
with  a  small  fragment  of  the  Gobrapratono.  See  Sabin's  Dictionary,

Casas's  treatises,  entirely  diflferent  from  that  of  Miggrode.  The  trea- 
tises are  all  much  abbreviated,  having  been  printed  to  arouse  the  Hol- 
landers against  the  Spaniards.  The  Relation  of  Montauban  has  a  sepa- 
rate title.  Mr.  Rich  says  the  translation  was  made  by  the  Abbe  de 
Bellegarde,  whose  politeness  (or  perhaps  fear  of  the  Spanish  influence 
at  the  French  court),  induced  him  to  soften  some  of  the  cruel  parts, 
lest  they  should  give  pain  to  delicate  persons.

This  professes  to  be  a  translation  of  the  French  book  entitled 
Tyraiudes  et  Cruautez  des  Espangnols.  The  Relations  of  Las  Casas 
proved  a  most  formidable  weapon  for  any  nation  on  ill  terms  with  the 
Spaniards.  Ten  editions  at  least  with  prints  portraying  the  horrible 
cruelties  perpetrated  by  the  Spanish  upon  the  Indians,  were  printed 
in  Holland,  while  struo^gling  with  the  murderous  banditti  of  Pliilip 
II.  Three  were  printed  in  France,  during  the  prevalence  of  hostilities 
with  Spain,  and  four  in  England  under  similar  animus.  It  is  worthy 
of  note,  that  the  Tears  of  the  Indians  places  their  slaughter  at  twenty 
millions,  the  editor  of  this  Relation  doubles  the  number  and  calls  it 
forty  millions.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  real  number  inhumanly 
tortured  and  slain  has  been  fictitiously  doubled  many  times,  otherwise 
we  should  be  compelled  to  believe  that  the  torments  of  purgatory 
were  too  moderate  for  the  Spaniards." — Field.

This  work,  owes  its  existence  to  Las  Casas.  The  original  manuscript, 
in  the  well  known  handwriting  of  the  venerable  Bishop,  was  discovered 
by  Navarrette,  near  the  close  of  the  last  century ;  but  on  account  of 
the  disturbed  condition  of  iSpanish  affairs,  did  not  make  its  appearance 
in  print,  until  1825.  The  title  of  the  two  volumes  which  it  filled,  was

History  of  Florida,  containing  the  three  Voyages  made  to  it  by  cer- 
tain Captains  and  Pilots  described  by  Captain  Laudonnierre,  w^ho  com- 
manded in  them  for  three  months.  To  which  is  added  a  fourth  voyage 
made  by  Captain  Gourgues.  The  narratives  of  the  three  voyages  of 
Jean  Kibaut,  first  published  in  1586,  contain  the  earliest  accounts  of  the 
Indians  of  Florida,  except  such  as  are  found  in  the  Relacion  of  Cabeca 
de  Vaca.  In  one  respect,  at  least,  it  relieves  the  ferocity  charged  upon 
the  Savages  by  most  writers,  by  its  narration  of  the  horrible  massacre 
perpetrated  on  the  French,  by  the  fiend  Menendez.

This  work,  first  published  in  1709,  was  issued  as  a  part  of  Stevens's 
Collection  of  Voyages  in  1711.  . .  The  relation  of  a  man  of  acute  habits 
of  observation,  some  intelligence,  and  doubtless  entire  veracity  regard- 
ing the  Indians  of  North  Carolina,  at  a  very  interesting  period  of  their 
existence.  Lawson  was  a  land  surveyor  in  the  employment  of  the 
government,  and  was  the  unhappy  cause  of  the  exile  ot  the  Tuscarora 
tribe  to  New  York,  and  its  consequent  incorporation  into  the  Iroquois 
Confederacy,  by  wliich  its  name  was  changed  to  the  Six  .Nations.  As 
the  surveyor  was  tlie  precursor  of  the  settler,  who  seized  upon  and  oc- 
cupied the  lands  of  the  savages,  he  was  always  the  especial  object  of 
their  detestation. —  Meld.

This  Historical  and  Chronological  description  of  the  two  stones 
which  at  the  time  of  the  new  pavement  being  laid  in  the  principal 
Plaza  of  Mexico  were  found  in  it  in  the  year  1799.  The  calendar  sys- 
tem of  the  Indians  is  explained,  the  method  which  they  had  for  divid- 
ing time,  and  the  correction  which  they  made  to  adjust  the  civil  year, 
which  they  made  use  of,  with  the  solar  tropical  year.  A  notice  very 
necessary  for  the  perfect  understanding  of  the  second  stone ;  to  which 
are  added  others  curious  «nd  instructive  on  the  Mythology  of  the  Mex- 
icans, on  their  Astronomy,  and  on  the  rites  and  ceremonies  they  usually 
practiced  at  the  period  of  their  heathenism,  was  published  at  the  ex- 
j)eu8e  of  the  Mexican  Goveruraeut.

History  of  New  France,  containing  the  voyages,  discoveries  and  set- 
tlements, made  by  the  French  in  the  West  Indies,  and  in  New  France, 
by  Commission  of  our  very  Christian  Kings  ;  and  the  various  fortunes 
of  those  engaged  in  them,  during  one  hundred  years  to  the  present 
time.  In  whicli  is  comprised,  the  Moi-al,  Natural  and  Geographic  His- 
tory of  the  said  Provinces,  with  the  necessary  Tables  and  Plates.  Les- 
carbot's  history  is  highly  esteemed  not  only  for  its  great  veracity,  but 
as  the  work  of  a  candid  and  intelligent  writer,  and  the  first  history  of 
the  French  settlements  in  Canada.  Charlevoix's  praise  of  him  is  fla- 
vored with  a  little  of  his  characteristic  acidity.  "  Marc  Lescarbot,  ad- 
vocate in  the  Parliament  of  Paris,  was  a  man  of  sense  and  learning, 
but  a  little  addicted  to  the  marvelous."  The  good  father,  however, 
subsequently  neutralises  the  sharpness  of  his  ciiticism  by  saying, 
"  Lescarbot  has  collected  with  much  care  all  that  had  been  written  be- 
fore him,  relating  to  the  discoveries  of  the  French  in  America,  all  that 
passed  in  French  Florida,  etc. —  He  was  siucere,  well  educated,  and 
impartial."

Commenced  by  Captain  Lewis  himself,  who  was  on  his  route  to 
Philadelphia  to  engage  in  its  completion,  when  the  derangement  seized 
him,  under  the  influence  of  which  he  committed  suicide  at  St.  Louis. 
It  was  then  undertaken  by  Mr.  Nicolas  Biddle,  who  in  conjunction 
with  Captain  Clarke,  arranged  the  numerous  notes,  and  copious  diaries 
and  jpurnals,  kept  by  each  of  the  principal  explorers,  and  enlarged  the 
skeleton  of  many  incidents  from  the  recollections  of  the  survivor. 

Mr.  Samuel  G.  Drake  says  that  he  was  informed  by  Mr.  Nicholas 
Biddle  that  he  was  himself  the  editor  who  is  referred  to  in  the  preface, 
as  having  nearly  completed  the  work  for  the  press .  This  is  by  far  the 
most  complete  edition  of  this  interesting  work  whose  value  to  the  his- 
torian, the  student,  or  the  reader  for  amusement,  has  in  no  degree  been 
superseded  by  the  numerous  relations  of  expeditions  which  have  suc- 
ceeded it.

Schuyler,  Major  Peter  Schuyler,  commanded  in  several  battles  with 
and  expeditions  against  the  French  Indians  and  in  1710  accompanied

until  1764,  the  last  year  of  hostilities  with  these  allies.  He  seems, 
however,  to  have  made  good  use  of  his  opportunities  to  gain  informa-

Braddock,  of  Generals  Abercrombie  and  Amherst,  and  of  Colonels

4°,  doth,  gilt.       "  '        N.  Y.,  1874 

It  is  difficult  to  speak  of  this  splendid  work  in  such  terms  as  its  ex- 
cellence deserves,  vnthout  seeming  to  be  extravagant  in  laudation. 
Tiie  author  has  brouglit  the  art  of  photography  to  aid  for  the  first 
time,  in  illustrating  a  work  principally  treating  of  the  aborigines  of 
America.  Nothing  effected  by  engraving  has  been  published,  since 
the  days  of  the  brothers  De  Bry,  so  elaborate,  so  rich,  and  so  perfect 
in  dravs^ing,  scenery,  costume,  and  anatomical  correctness.

which  prompted  the  woi-k.  These  Decades,  first  printed  in  Latin  in

There  is  not  a  little  discrepancy  in  the  views  of  bibliographers,  re- 
garding the  issues  of  this  edition.  White  Kennett  makes  it  the  first 
of  the  complete  English  editions,  placing  it  under  the  date  of  1597. 
What  authority  he  had  for  his  conclusion  is  not  even  guessed  at  by 
the  authorities  of  the  present  day.  Mr.  Sabin  simply  quotes  Mr. 
Rich's  note,  to  the  edition  of  1613  ;  "  Some  copies  are  without  date." 
Fernaux  and  Stevens  do  not  notice  it.  It  would  seem  from  this  nega- 
tive testimony,  to  have  been  even  rarer  than  the  editions  of  1613,  and 
1628.

'  The  aiithor  was  an  Italian  scholar  of  a  noble  family  of  Milan,  born 
1455,  died  1526.  He  possessed  eminent  ability  and  learning,  and  is 
believed  to  be  the  first  writer  who  noticed  in  his  works  the  discovery 
of  America  by  his  countryman  Columbus ;  as  he  is  the  first  who  pub- 
lished a  treatise  descriptive  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  natives  of  the 
New  "World.  He  was  the  contemporary  and  friend  of  the  great 
navigators,  discoverers,  and  conquerors  —  Columbus,  Vasco  de  Gama, 
Cortes,  Magellan,  Cabot,  and  Vespucius.  Beside  the  great  advan- 
tage thus  acquired,  his  official  position  as  member  of  the  council 
for  the  Indies,  afforded  him  the  inspection  of  documents  of  undoubted 
authenticity.  His  work,  therefore,  composed  from  sources  of  such  im- 
portance, and  with  such  aids,  has  always  been  placed  in  the  highest

Almost  every  volume  of  the  first  tliree  series  is  nearly  filled  with 
materia]  illustrating;  the  aboriginal  history  of  the  country.  Not  only 
were  very  rare  works  of  that  class  reprinted,  but  original  treatises 
and  MSS.  of  the  most  valuable  character  were  published,  and 
very  precious  documents,  like  Gookin's  Historical  Collections  of  the 
Indians  of  N.  E.,  and  Nile's  History  of  the  Indian  Wars  of  N.  E., 
were  for  the  first  time  made  accessible  to  the  public.  It  is  to  be  re- 
gretted that  the  later  volumes  have  assumed  more  the  character  of 
state  documents.  The  first  series  of  ten  volumes  contains  fifty-two 
treatises  on  Indian  history,  languages,  or  origin ;  including  Roger 
Williams's  Key  into  the  languages  of  N.  E.,  85  pages.  The  second

The  author  was  very  assiduous  in  collecting  facts  relating  to  the 
condition,  history  and  character  of  the  Indians  of  Peru  and  Brazil, 
particularly  of  the  unexplored  districts,  in  the  valley  of  the  Maranon. 
He  studied  them  with  the  zeal  of  a  scholar,  and  the  analysis  of  an 
ethnologist,  and  although  his  opportunities  were  comparatively  nar- 
row, and  his  tour  very  rapid,  he  gleaned  with  great  industry.

The  quarto  volume  is  the  text  of  one  of  the  most  beautiful  and  costly 
of  works,  having  the  American  Indians  for  their  subject.  The  wise- 
acre who  gave  it  an  English  dress,  takes  credit  to  himself  in  his  preface, 
for  omitting  the  very  extensive  vocabularies  found  in  the  German  edi- 
tion, occupying  nearly  one  quarter  of  volume  second.  To  cover  this 
defect  the  German  text  is  added  as  above.  The  volume  of  plates  con- 
tains eighty-one  vignettes  and  full-page  colored  engravings  of  the 
most  perfect  drawing,  and  beautiful  execution.  Forty-nine  of  these 
are  illustrative  of  some  phase  in  Indian  life  and  character.  Two  En- 
glish editions  of  these  plates  have  been  issued,  the  last,  so  much  infe- 
rior to  the  other  as  to  be  unworthy  of  comparison,  was  published  by

(Eemarkable  and  strange  West-India  Voyages  and  Travels,  tlirough 
the  Caribbee  Islands,  New  Netberland,  V^irginia  and  Spanish  America  ; 
Containing  a  very  curious  description  of  the  said  lands,  with  their  in- 
habitants, religions,  government,  manners  and  customs,  strange  his- 
tories and  accidents  ;  together  with  the  horrid  cruelty  exercised  by  the 
Spaniards  upon  the  Indians  during  the  conquest  of  New  Spain  ;  and 
the  cruelty  of  the  American  Buccaneers  towards  the  Spaniards.  Orna- 
mented with  copper  plates.  Described  by  a  noble  Englishman,  E.  M. 
and  several  other  persons. 

.  All  relating  to  the  New  Netherlands  is  taken  literally  from  Vander 
Donck.  The  plates  in  the  text  of  that  portion  relating  to  the  New 
Netherlands  are  copied  from  De  Vries.  The  manners  and  customs 
of  the  Savages  receive  much  attention  from  the  author,  throughout 
the  remainder  of  his  work.  This  edition  is  much  the  rarest  and  in- 
deed the  only  one  desirable  for  a  collection  of  books  on  American  his- 
tory. Contains  all  relating  to  America  which  has  been  printed  on 
his  travels  in  the  East  and  West  Indies.

Mexico,  m.dccc.lxx 
This  extraordinary  work  upon  the  conversion  of  the  Indians  of 
Mexico  to  the  Catholic  faith  had  slumbered  in  MS.,  for  250  years  when 
the  eminent  Mexican  scholar  and  archaeologist  Signor  Icazbalceta 
brought  it  to  the  light  and  universality  of  the  press.  Its  importance  can 
scarcely  be  overestimated.  Mendieta,  for  the  history  of  the  Aztecs, 
was  sent  to  Mexico  in  1554  and  remained  there  till  1571,  having  spent 
much  of  his  time  in  the  study  of  the  Mexican  languages.  Torque- 
nada  evidently  had  access  to  his  MS.,  for  he  has  reproduced  a  large 
portion  of  it  without  giving  any  credit  to  Mendieta.  His  love  for  the 
Indians  exhibited  itself  in  the  same  manner  as  that  of  LasCasas,  and 
Palafox,  and  with  almost  equal  fervor  and  eloquence,  he  appealed  in 
his  numerous  letters  to  the  king_and  the  council  of  the  Indians  in  their 
defence.

This  very  rare  work  is  a  compilation,  principally  from  available 
sources,  of  the  narratives  which  in  their  original  form  had  even  at  the 
date  of  its  publication,  become  scarce.  It  includes  Colonel  Boone's  Nar- 
rative, Dr.  Knight's  and  Slover's  Narrative  of  Captivity,  Colonel  James 
Smith's  Narrative  of  captivity.  As  a  contribution  to  the  literature  illus- 
trative of  aboriginal  and  frontier  life,  it  will  probably  always  preserve 
its  rank  among  rare  and  costly  books.

The  Tierra  de  Ouarra  of  the  time  of  Las  Casas  remained  for  three 
centuries  not  only  the  Land  of  War,  but  the  land  of  mystery.  A  vast 
tract  of  territory  in  Guatemala,  inhabited  by  the  fierce  Itzas  and  Lo- 
candons,  whose  wars  are  recorded  by  Villagnatierre  ;  was  for  the  first 
time  visited  by  a  peaceful  traveler  in  1846.  The  adventurous  French- 
man, whose  literary  thirst  impelled  him  to  explore  this  mysterious 
country,  recorded  his  observations  in  a  manner  which  entitles  them  to 
more  credence  than  could  be  fairly  claimed  by  many  of  his  countryman. 
His  work  is  largely  composed  of  details  of  his  intercourse  with  the 
modern  Indians,  and  of  his  examinations  of  the  relics  of  the  ancient 
inhabitants.

Highly  esteemed  by  ethnologists,  and  is  certainly  the  result  of  a 
vast  amomit  of  original  research,  by  a  learned  and  zealous  investigator. 
The  cranial  forms  of  more  than  forty  Indian  nations  once  inhabiting 
the  two  Americas,  from  Canada  to  Brazil,  are  examined  and  compared. 
Both  in  this  country  and  in  Europe,  wherever  learning  and  science  are

much  by  the  existence  of  several  copies  in  MS.  as  by  the  conformity

There  is  not  the  slightest  trace  of  ideas,  derived  from  civilization  or 
Christianity.  It  has  received  the  sanction  of  such  scholars  as  Drs. 
Kiviero,  Tschudi,  and  Barranca,  who  were  convinced  that  it  was  com- 
posed long  before  the  conquest  of  Peru  by  Pizarro.

This  work  of  the  learned  Licentiate  Don  Manuel  Orozco  is  without 
question  not  only  the  best  publication  about  the  geography  of  Mexi-

guagres  in  general.  Orozco  is  the  first  to  show  by  languages,  numerous 
and  hitherto  almost  unknowu,  how  such  a  subject  must  be  treated.  He 
classifies  them,  describes  them,  determines  their  geographical  distribu- 
tion, and  offers  thus  to  the  public  a  work  quite  unique.  The  twelve 
years  which  this  modest  scholar  devoted  to  the  composition  of  his  book 
must  have  been  to  him  a  period  of  incessant  labour  and  research.

Several  chapters  of  this  curious  work  are  devoted  to  descriptions  of 
the  aborigines  of  the  valley  of  the  Amazon  ;  and  those  treating  of  the 
advantages  of  commerce  with  them,  suggest  an  odd  comparison  with 
the  works  of  our  own  day,  written  two  centuries  later,  which  do  but 
little  more  than  repeat  the  same  statements.  It  is  composed  princi- 
pally from  that  of  Acuna.  The  map  is  almost  without  exception, 
missing  from  the  copies  oifered  for  sale.  This  is  the  only  edition  in 
English. 

It  is  also  remarkable  as  containing  a  chart  asserted  to  have  been 
made  by  himself  while  he  was  blind.  It  is  said  not  to  be  very  correct, 
although  a  wonderful  ]3roduction  for  such  an  artist.

His  speeches  to  the  Friends  are  models  of  good  sense  and  religious

American  Indians,  was  made  by  him  to  the  Governor,  who  offered  him 
a  considerable,  and  to  the  chief  very  valuable  amount  of  goods,  as  a 
present.  The  dignified  and  noble  reply,  in  which  he  declined  to  receive 
them,  on  the  ground  that  his  visit  was  entirely  for  religious  instruction, 
and  therefore  of  too  sacred  a  character  to  admit  of  the  gross  indulgence

This  work,  in  any  condition,  ranks  among  the  rarest  of  New  Eng- 
land imprints.  In  this  copy  is  a  MS.  note.  "  The  Rev.  N.  M.  wrote 
to  his  brotlier  Rev.  Increase  Mather  a  letter  received  August  12,  1G85. 
'  A  good  friend  and  near  Relation  of  mine,  one  Mr.  Rich'  Lot,  merch't 
in  London,  who  married  my  sister  Thompson,  desires  me  to  write  in 
behalf  of  this  gentleman  ye  bearer  his  kinsman,  Mr.  Penhallow  of 
Falmouth  in  Cornwall,  who  designs  to  spend  a  year  or  two  in  New 
England,  in  your  colledge,  for  ye  prfecting  his  learning,"  (from  the 
original  MSS.  J.  W.  T.).  The  author  was  born  in  Cornwall,  England, 
July,  1065,  and  arrived  in  Portsmouth,  New  Hamshire,  July,  1686. 
He  held  many  important  offices  of  public  trust  with  great  honor,  being 
chief  justice  of  the  Province,  at  the  period  of  his  death,  in  December, 
1726,  at  the  age  of  sixty-one.  His  work  on  the  Indian  wars  is  esteemed 
as  the  highest  authority  on  that  subject.  His  design  in  emigrating 
was  to  serve  the  corporation  for  the  propagation  of  the  gospel  among 
the  Indians,  as  a  missionary,  after  he  had  made  himself  acquainted 
with  their  language.  Whether  he  ever  really  performed  that  service 
is  uncertain.  His  MS.  diary  kept  with  great  care,  and  covering  a  great 
portion  of  his  life,  was  destroyed  in  the  conflagration  of  Portsmouth, 
1802.

The  work  of  Perrot  here  presented  to  the  public  for  the  first  time 
had  remained  in  Manuscript  for  more  than  a  century  and  a  half  ;  but 
not  unknown.  It  had  served  Charlevoix  in  the  preparation  of  his  great 
history  of  New  France  ;  as  it  had  long  before  its  governors  La  Barre, 
Denonville,  and  Frontenac  in  determining  their  policy  towards  the 
various  tribes  of  Indian  allies  and  foes  it  describes.  Its  author  was  for 
twenty  years  a  simple  fur  trader,  visiting  and  residing  for  long  periods 
from  1661  to  1665  with  the  savages  he  had  made  his  friends.  For 
nearly  twenty  years  subsequently  he  was  the  official  interpreter  of  the 
government.  "  His  facility  in  acquiring  the  Indian  languages,  his 
natural  eloquence,  the  blending  of  heroism,  and  hardiness,  of  coolness 
and  generosity,  acquired  for  him  the  confidence,  and  affection  of  a 
great  number  of  tribes."  His  work  has  therefore  a  different  and  in 
some  respects  a  higher  value  than  the  relations  of  the  missionary 
fathers  ;  regarding  the  Indian  tribes  two  centuries  ago.

Mo.st  of  the  large  plates  have  numerous  figures  of  the  aborigines,  ex- 
hibited in  some  stately  pageant  of  homage  to  the  discoverers  and 
evangelists,  or  in  a  horrid  festival  of  cannibalism,  or  in  some  appalling 
scene  of  massacre  and  torture  perpetrated  upon  them.  A  curious  bib- 
liographical history  attaches  to  this  volume.  The  real  name  of  the 
author  was  Caspar  Plautus,  who  assumed  the  pseudonym  of  Philopo- 
nus, in  order  to  admit  of  one  of  tlie  most  extraordinary  devices  of 
egotism,  ever  contrived.  He  wrote  a  most  fulsome  piece  of  flattery, 
and  in  his  character  of  Philoponus,  dedicated  it  to  himself,  in  his  own 
proper  cognomeu.  By  this  device,  his  work,  everywliere  it  was  read, 
advertised  the  merit  and  learning  of  Caspar  Plautus,  and  the  praise 
seemed  vastly  more  important,  as  issuing  from  so  learned  a  person  as 
Philoponvis.  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  first  called  tlie  attention  of  English 
scholars  to  this  curious  cliai)ter  in  the  history  of  egotism.  The  woi"k

It  is  scarcely  possible  to  express  that  praise  of  this  work  which  is 
their  merest  due,  without  seeming  extravagance.  It  is  a  model  of  local 
or  state  history.  But  it  is  the  great  mass  of  historic  material  relating 
to  the  aborigines  of  Alabama,  which  particularly  entitles  it  to  our  at- 
tention. The  first  volume  exhausts  that  portion  of  their  history  which 
is  obtainable  from  the  most  authentic  of  printed  authorities,  but  the 
second,  is  filled  with  accounts  derived  from  unpublished  documents,  or 
personal  relations  made  to  the  author.  Few  writers  have  possessed 
greater  facilities  for  this  last  mentioned  rescource,  than  Mr.  Pickett, 
having  resided  among  the  Creeks  and  Cherokees  with  his  father,  an 
early  Indian  trader.  All  of  the  thirteen  plans  with  which  the  work  is 
illustrated,  have  for  their  subjects  either  the  features,  customs,  fortifica- 
tions, Indian  mounds  of,  or  battles  with  the  Indians.

The  first  volume  of  this  work  is  divided  into  twelve,  and  the  second 
volume  into  twenty  sections,  each  with  a  bastard  title,  and  devoted  to 
an  analysis  of  one  or  more  aboriginal  languages,  or  dialects.  Of  these, 
forty-eight  receive  some  attention,  and  most  of  them  a  critical  ezamih- 
ation.  The  peculiarities  of  each  in  grammatical  construction,  enun-

cussed with  the  skill  of  an  intelligent  philologist.  No  work  on  the

^  'So  1937  Report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Indian  Affairs.  36  vols., 
8°,  red  cloth.  Washington,  1835  -  1870 

The  reports  of  the  Indian  bureau,  and  of  the  commissioner  for  Indian 
affairs,  form  a  body  of  material  relating  to  the  Indians,  almost  unri- 
valed for  its  minutenss  in  any  department  of  history.  The  names, 
numbers,  and  condition  of  the  Indian  tribes,  are  g-iven  with  all  the  at- 
tention to  details  and  correctness,  which  a  multitude  of  agoiits  more 
or  less  efficient,  and  sometimes  conscientious,  could  be  induced  by  in- 
terest and  discipline  to  collect.  To  no  other  source  can  we  look  for 
the  ]jrowressive  steps,  by  which  the  savage  tribes  retreated  before  the 
overwhelming  charge  of  the  army  of  civilization.  The  reports  cover 
the  whole  history  of  flie  dealings  of  the  government  with  its  Indian 
wards.  They  have  become  exceedingly  scarce,  for  no  complete  sft  is 
known  to  exist,  even  in  the  library  of  Congress  or  in  the  documents  of 
the  Indian  Bureau.

Peace  Commissioners.     8°,  pp.  23.  Washivf/ton,  1868 

This  is  the  first  report  of  the  Commissioners  who, voluntarily  assumed 
the  duties  of  making  treaties  and  furnishing  supplies  to  the  Indian 
tribes  which  had  surrendered  their  hunting  grounds,  and  accepted  other 
lands  to  starve  to  death  upon.

This  must  not  be  confounded  with  the  annual  reports  of  the  Indian  Bu- 
reau. The  Indian  Commissioners  were  nine  gentlemen  who  were  ap- 
pointed without  Salaries  by  the  President  to  surpervise  theactions  of  the 
salaried  officers  in  relation  to  the  Indians  as  well  as  to  treat  with  the 
^Indians  themselves.  The  government  of  tlie  United  States  has  always 
had  two  enemies  to  fiofht  in  its  dealings  with  the  warlike  savages  ;  the 
Indians  themselves,  and  its  own  officers,  who  were  charged  with  the 
duty  of  preserving  peaceful  relations  with  them.  Tiiis  outrageous 
corruption,  swindling  and  thieving,  joined  to  the  v.'auton  murders,  and 
cruel  massacres  of  the  white  savages  of  the  border,  compelled  the 
government  to  accept  of  the  volunteer  service  of  some  of  its  most  disin- 
terested citizens  to  treat  with  the  Indians.

This  book  is  an  example  of  the  most  unblushing  effrontery.  The 
pseudo  author  assumes  the  credit  of  the  performance  with  but  the 
faintest  allusion  to  its  previous  existence.  It  is  a  nearly  faithful  trans- 
lation of  Rochefort's  Histoire  des  Antilles.  There  is,  however,  a  grati- 
fying  retribution  in  Davies'  treatment  of  Rochefort,  for  the  work  of  the 
latter  was  fictitious  in  every  part  which  was  not  purloined  from  authors 
whose  knowledge  furnished  him  with  all  in  his  treatise  which  was  true.

2016  Ross  The  Fur  Hunters  of  the  Far  West;  a  narrative  of

The  narrations  of  an  intelligent  observer  of  the  peculiarities  of  sav- 
age life,  always  attract  an  amount  of  interest,  which  increases  in  pro- 
portion to  the  truthfulness  of  his  coloring  or  shading.  In  all  the  qual- 
ities which  should  attract  and  hold  our  attention,  it  is  rare  to  find  the 
suijerior  of  Mr.  Ross.  For  fifteen  years  he  traversed  the  wastes  of  the 
Rocky  Mountains,  and  thus  became  as  familiar  with  every  trait  of  In- 
dian character  and  phase  of  savage  life,  as  a  white  man  may  ever  ex- 
pect to  be.  As  an  Indian  trader  pushing  his  commerce  among  friendly 
but  treacherous  tribes,  and  even  among  hostile  ones  who  are  to  be 
placated  by  resistless  finery,  or  the  equally  omnipotent  fire-water,  he 
was  often  the  first  white  man  to  burst  upon  their  wild  fastnesses.  The 
Appendix,  pp.  313  to  333  contains  a  vocabulary  of  the  jSez  Perce  lan-

to  which  the  entire  life  of  Father  Sahagun  was  devoted,  is  beyond 
question  the  most  important,  as  it  is  the  most  authentic  history  of 
events,  transpiring  in  the  New  World,  before  its  discovery  by  Columbus. 
All  that  relates  to  the  religion,  customs,  government,  and  wars  of  the 
Aztecs,  was  examined  in  a  manner  so  critical,  so  patient  and  thorough 
that  no  history  was  ever  conceived,  or  brought  forth  with  more  labor.

the  CarapaigD  against  the  Indians,  in  the  Year  oue  thousand

Fhiladelphia,  1812 

A  narrative  of  the  terrible  defeat  and  slaughter,  of  eight  hundred 
soldiers  by  the  Ohio  Indians.  St.  Clair's  voluminous  defense  is  rendered 
nugatory  and  futile  by  the  passionate  ejaculations  of  Washington, 
when  Major  Denny  called  him  from  a  dinner-party,  to  announce  the 
defeat.  Overcome  with  surprise  and  indignation,  Washington  cursed 
the  beaten  general  with  exceeding  fervor,  adding,  "  Did  not  my  last 
words  warn  him  against  a  surprise."

The  mystery  which  surrounded  the  authorship,  history,  and  origin  of 
this  very  rare  volume,  has  been  slowly  dispelled  by  successive  frag- 
ments of  information.  So  few  copies  have  survived  the  holocaust  to 
which  it  was  devoted,  that  its  very  existence  was  unknown  to  the  most 
zealous  collectors  of  Indian  and  Vermont  history.  Published  anony- 
mously, without  preface,  it  was  known  to  but  few  that  the  author  was 
the  Rev.  Daniel  Clark  Sanders,  President  of  the  University  of  Vermont. 
Immediately  after  its  appearance,  some  person,  evidently  a  personal 
enemy  of  the  author,  published  an  acrimonious  critique  upon  tlie  book, 
in  the  Liberal  and  Philosophical  Rei)ository.  The  animus  of  the  critic 
was  evidenced,  not  only  by  the  bitterness  of  his  language,  but  by  his 
ignorance  of  the  subject  of  Indian  wars,  being  more  profound  than  that 
of  the  author  of  the  book  he  scored.     Such  was  the  effect  of  the  article

upon  either  Mr.  Sanders,  or  the  puhlishers.that  the  work  was  suppressed. 
But  very  few  copies  could  have  escaped  the  hands  that  were  now  as 
zealous  to  destroy,  as  they  had  lately  been  to  create.  In  fact,  so  nearly 
complete  was  the  destruction  of  the  book,  that  it  was  forgotten  by  those 
who  professed  to  know  most  of  its  author,  his  biographers.  Neither 
Thompson,  Williams,  or  Hemmenway,  who  jjublished  memoirs  of  San- 
ders, mention  his  authorship  of  this  book.

related  and  blended  in  an  extraordinary  and  perplexing  manner.  A 
.very  large  number  of  beautiful  steel  engravings,  representative  of 
some  phase  of  Indian  life  and  customs,  are  contained  in  the  work,  but

domestic  utensils,  instruments,  on  gunning  and  amusement,  sorcery, 
and  medicine,  objects  of  worship,  their  sculptures,  paintings,  and  forti- 
fications, pictograph  writing,  dwellings,  and  every  form  of  antiquities, 
■which  have  been  discovered.  The  six  volumes  contain  336  plates, 
representing  thousands  of  the  scenes  and  objects  named.

The  Narrative  of  Colonel  Smith's  Captivity  had  ah'eady  become 
scarce,  when  the  patriotic  veteran,  on  the  breaking  out  of  the  war 
with  Great  Britian,  fully  comprehending  the  danger  of  underrating 
the  savage  foe,  whom  that  government  would  make  its  allies,  issued 
this  treatise  of  military  instruction.  The  work  has  become  even  rarer

The  greater  part  of  tlie  value  of  tliis  work,  consists  in  the  perfection 
and  identity  of  the  maps.  The  first  edition  is  the  most  desirable  when 
it  possesses  the  maps  properly  belonging  to  it.  In  the  subsequent 
editions,  the  maps  underwent  such  alterations  as  distinguish  each  of 
them  from  the  others-  It  is  so  commonly  the  case,  as  almost  to  form 
the  rule,  that  even  the  best  copies  of  Smith's  book  have  been  made  up 
by  the  substitution  of  later  editions  of  some  of  the  maps.  This  uncer- 
tainty extends  even  to  the  portraits.  That  of  the  Dachesse  of  Rich- 
mond, is  generally  supposed  to  have  been  reengraved,  and  collectors 
have  been  somewhat  puzzled  to  ascertain  if  their  copies  were  originals 
I  have  copies  both  of  the  original  impression,  and  the  so  called  replica, 
and  the  distinction  between  the  original  impressions  and  the  subse- 
quent ones,  consists  in  the  cross  hatchings  which  were  made  after  the 
impressions  were  taken  for  Smith's  history.

It  ia  difficult  to  believe  that  two  individuals  were  capable  of  such 
an  astouishing  amount  of  labor,  as  is  evidenced  in  these  volumes.  The 
wonderful  structures  of  the  race  of  Indians  which  once  inhabited  the 
peninsula  of  Central  America,  are  here  described  by  pen  and  pencil, 
with  great  clearness  and  minuteness  The  temples,  sculptures,  idols, 
utensils,  buildings  and  architecture,  of  that  active,  intelligent,  and 
almost  mythical  people,  are  illustrated  by  more  than  seventy  engrav- 
ings, from  drawings  by  Mr.  C.atherwood.

New  York  :  Harper  &  Brothers,  1858 
One  year  after  the  termination  of  his  first  explorations,  the  author 
set  out  upon  the  one,  the  incidents  of  which  are  here  narrated.  So  far 
from  exhausting  the  antiquities  of  the  peninsula  in  his  first  two  vol- 
umes, these  add  to  our  astonishment  by  portraying  the  gigantic  ruins 
of  still  more  imposing  structures,  erected  by  the  vanished  race  of  pen- 
insular aborigines.

Museum,  Salisbury;  by  Edward  T.  Stevens,   Hon.  Curator  of 
the  Blackmore  Museum.     8°,  cloth^  uncut.  London,  1870 

This  extraordinary  collection  of  material,  representing  the  labor  of 
aboriginal  man  in  Europe  and  America,  is  the  result  of  the  munificence 
and  taste  of  Mr.  William  Blackmore,  who  not  only  provided  the  very 
large  sum  needed  for  the  establishment  of  the  institution,  but  has 
made  several  voyages  to  America  to  complete  its  series.  Much  the 
largest  portion  of  the  volume  is  devoted  to  the  description  of  the  uten- 
sils, weapons,  and  ornaments  manufactured  by  the  American  Indians. 
Their  habitations,  mounds,  fortifications,  and  antiquities  are  described 
at  great  length,  and  with  much  evident  research.  The  text  is  accom- 
panied by  a  large  number  of  wood-cuts,  illustrative  of  the  various  ob- 
jects forming  the  collection  We  may  add  that  having  seen  Mr. 
Blackmore's  Museum  at  Salisbury,  England,  we  can  safely  commend 
its  study  to  any  American  Archaeologist,  who  may  be  visiting  that  city.

"  Gives  a  minute  detail  of  all  the  military  operations  in  both  Caro-

This  history  is,  in  general,  a  compilation  of  the  official  letters  of  the 
British  officers,  both  in  the  sea  and  land  service ;  of  the  American  and 
French  commanders,  which  have  appeared  in  the  newspapers,  with 
Lord  Rawdon's  campaign,  from  the  Remembrancer  and  Annual  Re- 
gister. The  military  transactions  are  collected  into  a  regular  order : 
tha  author,  enters  into  a  very  minute  detail  of  his  own  services,  and 
makes  a  very  free  comment  on  those  of  others,  and  in  particular  of 
Lord  Cornwallis.  His  conclusions  are  not,  however,  always  logically 
deduced,  nor,  as  we  conceive,  warranted  by  military  science.  The 
author  appears  every  where  forward  on  the  canvas ;  and  when  his  im- 
portance is  estimated  by  the  weight  of  his  own  remarks,  we  are  tempted 
frequently  to  remove  him  to  the  back  ground.

This  noble  collection  has  rendered  accessible,  in  a  familiar  language, 
many  of  the  rarest  and  most  valuable  narratives  of  contests  and  ad- 
venture among  the  Indians  of  America.  Some  were  indeed  to  be  found 
alone  in  manuscripts  jealously  guarded,  and  all  were,  beside  rarity, 
almost  as  obscure  by  reason  of  their  Gothic  print,  equally  antique 
Spanish,  or  barbarous  Latin,  as  the  pictographs  of  the  Aztecs,  or  the 
quipus  of  the  Peruvians  whose  stories  they  recounted.  Their  value 
can  best  be  estimated  by  the  titles  of  the  several  volumes,  which  will 
be  found  at  length  under  the  names  of  their  respective  authors.

History  of  Mexico  by  Don  Alvaro  Tezozomoc.  Translated  from  an 
unpublished  manuscript.  The  only  author  who  mentions  Tezozomoc 
is  Veytia.  In  his  history  of  ancient  Mexico  he  informs  us  that  he 
wrote  his  work  in  1598.  He  had  in  his  youth  known  the  old  men  who 
had  seen  the  empire  of  Montezuma  in  all  its  glory  ;  and  who  revived 
all  the  traditions  with  which  they  were  so  familiar.  Tozozomoc  was  a  de-

scendant  of  the  Kings  of  Arzaputzalco,  and  liis  work  is  important  for 
comparison  with  that  of  Ixtlilxochitl,  a  prince  of  the  royal  house  of 
Tezcuco  ;  which  our  author  treats  as  in  a  state  of  vassalage  to  his 
own  ancestors.  Tezozomoc's  history  bears  the  marks  of  fidelity  and 
exactness,  although  his  family  pride  induces  him  to  exalt  too  highly 
the  supremacy  of  the  Aztecs.  It  is  wholly  occupied  with  the  narrative 
of  the  conquest  of  the  sarrounding  nations  by  the  Aztecs,  and  is  brought 
down  only  to  the  perioa  of  the  arrival  of  Cortez.

First,  second  and  tliird  part,  of  the  twenty-one  books  of  ceremonies, 
and  the  Indian  monarchy,  with  the  origin  and  wars  of  the  West  Indies, 
of  their  peoples,  discovery,  conquest,  conversion  and  other  marvelous 
matters  of  the  same  land.  Juan  de  Torquemada,  whom  Alainan  calls 
the  "  Livy  of  New  Spain,"  studied  in  Mexico,  where  he  took  the  habit 
of  St.  Francis,  and  became  the  Provincial  of  the  order  for  that  country. 
He  wrote  his  Indian  Monarchy,  after  having  collected  everything 
which  he  could  find  that  related  to  the  history  of  the  country,  and  the 
customs,  manners,  laws,  &c.,  of  its  aboriginal  inhabitants.  This  work 
forms  a  collection,  indispensable  to  all  who  desire  to  know  much  of  the 
ancient  history  of  Mexico,  and  its  inhabitants,  as  well  as  to  all  those 
wrriters  who  expect  to  borrow  their  material  from  the  stores  of  others. 
The  edition  of  1733  is  the  most  complete,  having  been  edited  by  the 
indefatigable  Barcia,  and  is  preferred  by  scholars  to  the  first  edition, 
printed  iu  three  volumes  at  Madrid  iu  1613.

latter  adventurers.  It  is  the  most  circumstantial  fiction  which  the 
brain  of  an  advertising  agent  ever  conceived.  The  so  called  Aztec 
children  were  the  descendants  of  an  Irish  woman  living  in  Central

The  author  accompanied  Alvarado  in  his  conquest  of  Guatemala  and 
was  an  active  participator  in  the  dangers  of  several  Campaigns  against 
the  Indian  natives  of  Mexico.  The  greater  part  of  his  narrative  is 
accordingly  taken  up  with  the  narrative  of  his  adventures  among  the 
aborigines.  His  narrative  is  here  printed  for  the  first  time  having  re- 
mained for  three  centuries  hidden  in  one  of  the  libaries  of  Andalusia.

The  authorship  of  this  exceedingly  rare  pamphlet,  has  been  attri- 
buted to  the  personage,  whose  name  is  signed  to  the  poem  addressed 
to  the  reader  with  no  authority,  I  think,  beyond  that  of  conjecture. 
The  publishiug  committee  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society  thus 
ascribed  it,  in  their  note  to  the  reprint  of  the  relation,  in  the  third 
volume  of  their  collections.  It  is  a  narrative  of  the  battle  with  the 
Pequods,  fought  by  Captains  Mason  and  Underbill,  an  account  of 
which  was  written  by  the  last  doughty  commander,  and  printed  in 
1638,  under  the  title  of  iV^ews  fro7n  America.  Vincent's  relation  is  of 
even  greater  rarity  than  Underhill's.

Charity  School,  commencing  in  1754,  at  Lebanon,  and  in  1771  trans- 
ferred to  Hanover,  where  it  formed  the  germ  of  the  institution,  known 
as  Dartmoutlx  College.  Among  the  first  pupils  came  young  Brant,  the 
Mohawk  warrior,  who  afterwards  desolated  the  Wyoming  Valley,  and 
sat  beside  the  Mohegan  Indian,  Samson  Occum,  who  preached  the 
gospel  of  peace  to  the  same  bloody  savages.  The  fruits  of  the  noble 
*  and  disinterested  labors  of  Mr.  Wheelock,  were  visible  among  the 

aborigines  for  many  years  after  the  date  of  tliis  report.     At  one  time 
*  twenty-five  Indians  were  receiving  instruction  in  his  school.     Honored

The  propositions  of  the  learned  author  in  favor  of  the  existence  of  a 
tribe  of  Welsh  Indians,  are  so  well  sustained  by  veritable  evidence, 
and  yet  so  positively  known  to  be  untrue,  that  it  makes  us  doubt  the

Of  this  scarce  book,  very  few  copies  are  comfilete  or  in  good  condition. 
Having  been  issued  in  a  remote  corner  of  Northwestern  Virginia,  and 
designed  principally  for  a  local  circulation,  almost  every  copy  was  read 
by  a  country  fijse-side  until  scarcely  legible.  Most  of  the  copies  lack 
the  table  of  contents.  The  author  took  much  pains  to  be  authentic, 
and  his  chronicles  are  considered  by  Western  antiquarians,  to  form  the 
best  collection  of  frontier  life  and  Indian  warfare,  that  has  been  printed.

Tliis  very  excellent  treatise  contains  almost  tfH  we  know  of  the 
Indians  of  Long  Island,  The  careful  and  intelligent  author  expended 
much  time  in  collecting  the  data,  and  incidents  relating  t«  the  various 
tribes  of  aborigines  once  inhabiting  the  island.  Pages  61  to  80  are 
occupied  solely  with  the  informatidn  he  collected,  of  which  not  the 
least  reliable  is  the  vocabulary  on  page  69.        ^^~,
